Karlı Kayın Ormanı

The snow crunches underfoot, as if whispering something old and forgotten. The air is prickly, but inside there's a strange, stubborn warmth burning - like a little light in the window of a distant house that seems to shine only for you. Everything around seemed to have frozen: the birches, the moon, even my thoughts. Only footsteps and a quiet whistle escaping from the chest, like a memory of those who no longer call. There's a special kind of bravery in moving forward, knowing there will be no warmth or answers. Just keep going, because someone has to carry this light, even though you don't understand why yourself. Between the snow and the silence, it suddenly becomes clear: to live is the bravest of madnesses.
