Hibernation
It has turned four
And still the light continues
To pour through my window
After an eternity of rain
The sun has lifted us all
And once again we are
Hopeful for the future
Bring forth the flowers
The birds and butterflies
Spring is not so far off
But frost can return
At any time so we keep
Our cardigans buttoned up tight
Fighting winter is futile
It always wins but
Hibernation is a valid option
Both for bears
And for me
Thoughts
Immediately after writing this, the heavens opened and the darkness engulfed us.
Here is a brighter day to lift our spirits.
