Nothing to explain, everything to tell

Nothing to explain, everything to tell

 

Even in the remotest reaches,

where the wind whispers secrets to the frost,

distant, restless voices sought to fracture our peace;

no questions asked, no answers owed,

yet countless truths weighed heavy on our tongues.

 

But we held still.

Silent, resolute, we locked our words away,

letting their searching eyes shatter

against eternal walls of ice.

 

Turning inward, we chose the quiet labor of renewal:

mending what was broken,

building what could endure;

life rising, steady and unyielding,

beneath the frozen hush...
