End Of Winter Poems
Mar 01, 2026
Sometimes when the world feels really heavy (the end of Winter perhaps, or the world in chaos of greed and division) a poem or two will stand out as a beacon of hope, a glimmer of what may still be possible. Here is one such poem:
IT’S STILL POSSIBLE by David Whyte
It’s still possible to fully understand
you have always been the place
where the miracle has happened:
that you have been since your birth,
the bread given and the wine lifted,
the change witnessed and the change itself,
that you have secretly been, all along,
a goodness that can continue
to be a goodness to itself.
It’s still possible in the end
to realize why you are here
and why you have endured,
and why you might have suffered
so much, so that in the end,
you could witness love, miraculously
arriving from nowhere, crossing
bravely as it does, out of darkness,
from that great and spacious stillness
inside you, to the simple,
light-filled life of being said.
Or, how about this poem, as it speaks to the emerging energy of Spring:
When I speak of the soft
and slow and small,
I do not speak of the sluggishness
of apathy,
the stolidness of stagnation,
or of dreams solidifying into clumps
of the undone.
I tell of the kind of slowness,
the small, soft magics
that allow insight to blossom
and inspiration to thrive,
the quiet spaces
in the margins
that encourage deep reflection
and the nourishment that soaks
right through you
to settle in your bones,
refueling, refreshing, refilling
and restoring
that which you may have thought was lost,
parched,
or forgotten.
The time to simmer with promise,
to steep in your own knowings,
to patiently, tenderly
let a new understanding unfold
and a new map uncurl
from the uncharted,
unexplored terrain
you carry within.
I speak of space to hear the whispers,
to taste the longings,
and to greet the truth.
A life small enough
to hold
you.
