Winter Blues

Winter Blues From dark to dark the chill hours tread slow, Where thought as if behind a curtain lies And sleep slips past its alloted hour. In this dull Season of good intent No sun strewn shadows define the day And bright ambition, unnoticed, stilled. Those in tune with Nature slow, When Nature rests and the world is still, And feel the Season’s dark embrace. 01/06/17 For 'Winter Blues' Contest by Laura Loo.

A time to rest and contemplate Barry. I have seen how bad the snow is on the east coast and I am grateful to be where it is warm. I hope you see the sun soon to inspire you to have cheer. I can imagine how you can be feeling blue : )
