MY PLACE – POETRY , AFFIRMATIONS & MORE

Winter Solstice

………………………

The sun went down far too early today

I stomped like a child; a tantrum in my mind’s eye

wondering once again how to manage this darkness

as I desperately longed for the brightness of a blue sky

………………………………….

Another few months, another few weeks

far too many dark days with this nasty ice and snow

I breathed out a fowl scowl and mumbled a growl

wondering how to manage this cold plateau

……………………………………..

Knowing the darkness was inescapable

The warm days too far away

I yearned and begged Mother Nature for help

as I longed for light on this day

……………………………………………….

Mother Nature’s answer came a breath of wintery cold air

as she cast a handful of crystalized snowflakes my way

I jerked back as the snowflakes landed softly on my window

creating a beautiful design of snowflakes at play

…………………………………………. 

The wind too whispered a response with gentleness

in a low, slow, howl I heard him say

it’s time to celebrate and unwind dear spirit

Relax in these dark days, don’t dismay

………………………………………….

It’s time to rejoice and see this new gift before you

A gift of time when we can relax and let go

Let go all that no longer serves you

Rejoice in the new fallen snow

……………………………………..

Wrap yourself in the warmth of your loved ones

stock the fire till the embers are hot

Enjoy each season that falls upon up

and know it’s time to give thanks …just give thanks …for all that you got.
