A cold gloomy January day;
Allow mind to meander,
In spring-time garden play!
Warm scent of lavender…
Escape! Hated winter gray!
Strain by mind colander,
Dissociation my get-a-way!
Denying white reminder,
Flee from my January Day!
Faith enabling me to stay;
Endure winter doom!
Spirit warms me as I pray,
Lifts away gray gloom!
Joy I prefer over run-away;
Day’s long-night loom…
Face January’s deadly way;
Sure of Hope to bloom,
I do await new spring day!

A good read. I was out today and all I could think of was Spring.

I can’t go out in weather like this and I too find myself dreaming of spring. Spring=freedom to me. Winter is a powerful metaphor for me because of my condition. I’ve come to apply it things in my life that I’m helpless to change. Thank you for reading my poem.:0)

Illustrating alternatives, rather than disempowerment, settling, pigeon holed, victim status. exemplifying hope, taking flight, rather than succumbing.

I’m not a winter guy and I am looking forward to Spring and warmer weather already! I love the part of the poem “Spirit warms me as I pray.”

January is more than half over and that’s a good thing. We had an early winter maybe we’ll have an early spring. Until then, I have the Holy Spirit to warm my heart.
