Long

The nights are still long and the days are still short. 

The world is dark. I just can't stand it for too much longer. I know it is the end of January and I know it will end soon. The days will be longer and all the birds will return home soon.

But … will I make another year?  It has been a struggle this year!!

I go through this every year. Seeking the light, everyday.  Up early so I see the sunrise!

The humdrum of the same thing everyday is taking a toll.

The world is dark, but spring will come, I just need to remember that.  The grass will turn green, the flowers will return.  The color will come again, my spirit will bloom afresh.
