In darkness, I awaken
the tune of Hallel in my ears
I whisper words of another tune
and greet the dark day
Summer’s light has fled the mountains
flowers bloom no more
only the raven and magpie remain
winter’s sky companions
cold rain falls
snow comes late this year
a reminder of retreating glaciers
the only constant is change
I take my vitamin D
sit in front of happy lights
remembering days without end
when sleeping was harder than waking
Winter has only begun.
Beautiful words so well composed
