- Waves Hit Brutally -

When the storm is cold and strong
                             and I feel as I'm going under
                             far out into the northern sea
                                     The ice cold wind
                                  stinging my wet cheek

                              Some days the sea takes me
                         in waves of pain and heavy thoughts
                      Bitter storms will come and they will pass
                             no matter how I deal with them
                              Right now the sky is dark gray

Tony Hargreaves Date: 1/30/2023 2:06:00 PM Hi. I know the feeling well.These northern climes are hell. The grey will go away. Snowdrops I see today. And daylight gets longer.
