Snowflakes are drops of frozen gratitude
falling like feathers from the sky
in the longest months 
that carry the most darkness
the kind of darkness
that makes you think you have lost vision.

There comes a time when you realize the foundation of your life is not sturdy enough to hold you upright. When it all comes crashing down, where will you turn, and how will you rebuild?

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 18:2

Desperate for control.
Methods to numb the pain. 

Accolades to prove my worth.
Not knowing that loss was gain.
