My search for magnetic north
Its illusiveness
lost in the snow that drives,
a cosy fire, I can smell its burning logs
a trace of woody notes
the damper of doubt, backdraft of smoke
brings tears, but some power winds the spring,
even if, I can only glimpse a glow of hope
transience like sparks, that crack and fade away to nowt.
Fields out there unseen
trusting my inner compass needle, of self that must find orientation
and guide me to the warm heart(h) side,
of my own possibilities

This is a really beautiful account of seeking the true self. I really enjoyed how you used the elements of winter and a warm hearth.
Nicely done, Slip.

As a child of the north, I'm deeply warmed by this. Thank you for sharing this gem of inner reflection!
