Shrunken Heads

the sun struggles
to get out of bed
on dismal gray days

we shrink from each other
lower our heads

Catchy title Gershon, you got me. Sometimes I like to just wrap up in the blanket and meditate for a while on a cold morning, but more often, like you mention; adventure of a new day is calling and I'm up and after it. Bill

Not me, Tom. Oh, no -- not me. I'd rather brave the great outdoors and FREEZE TO DEATH ~ Call me 'Simple Wolf!'

Getting out of bed in the winter can be difficult. Everyone else is hiding behind locked doors as well. HNY ~Debra
