Health Enhanced by Art 2020 (HEArt Journal)

Prescription of the Seasons

Art Description

This poem was a quick work that I composed while I was traversing a difficult time in the first year of my medical school career. It served as a reminder to calm my thoughts and not let them overwhelm me at any given moment. In this way, my emotions reminded me of the transience of the seasons.
