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!
