Short Spells
An eclipse of a full moon
From the darkness
Light will appear soon
Like a bed of roses
In summertime
The chills of winter
Will be coming soon
But then the summer time heat
Comes back around
The short spells of darkness and gloom
Will be defeated
And everything shall have light and bloom
Like a sting from a nettle
From the yard
After a while the vicious sting will settle
Some moments of life are pretty hard
But they will soon come to pass
The harsh time will never last
Brace the struggles
And time shall pay you
With a bright sunny day
And a fresh petal will come to
Blossom
The butterfly shall spread its wings
It to waits out the dark
And rejoices in what time brings
It waits for the fresh new start
It learns in this dark time apart.
