lighter, longer days

 

The Ptown dunes, early spring

The gift of lighter, longer days - what a welcome change after this cold season of winter; this sometimes endless season we endure, curse, sometimes enjoy, but usually wish were over sooner rather than later. 

Moving into a new season is always a bit difficult for me, and somewhat cathartic in it’s passage - cold into warmth, dark into light. But I welcome this change, even with the personal difficulty surrounding it.

As we slowly enter into this season of Spring, I sense hope in the song of birds I hear in the morning. As the crocus stems fight their way up valiantly through the semi frozen ground, I applaud their courageous struggle and tenacity. I reach deep down into myself, looking for similar strength to meet the days ahead - with an open heart, a clear mind, and a tender soul. And I keep writing down the songs in my head….

Try Again 

dark days, long nights

it took awhile before I could,

see the light.

So, I slowed down,

it was too fast

it took awhile before I knew,

it would last.

Somethings are better left to wonder

Some words are better left unsaid

Sometimes I feel like I’m going under

When I listen to the voices in my head

So, I try again…..
