We wait
For small joys
With our backs
To the wall
As we sit out
The Spring season
To recuperate
From the Fall.

“In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

This is beautiful, Aaysid. I love both the poem and the quote. My favourite part of your poem is this piece …
‘As we sit out
The Spring season
To recuperate
From the Fall.’
That’s so true; that’s exactly what we do. I hope you are well, dear friend Xx 💐💓

“… the Fall.” A subtle yet superb play on words. That’s how I see it. Love it, Aaysid! Great quote too, however, quietly accepting feels more like a resting period than a long-term plan. 😁
