The Dark Winter Nights

The nights are fare drawing in this a Scottish quote describing winter's coming even when you know it's coming to you you dread the thought filling one numbing When the clocks change in October these dark nights start early at five there in late afternoon dark clouds descend starting to wish for spring so to revive Many reckon depression comes upon them during these darkened times so deep takes so long so to recover themselves no wonder the Bible describes such lost sheep The darkness these nights create goes deep brings foreboding thoughts one wants just to close their curtains lock the outside world away so fraught Nature in winter quite contrasting turning grass to sharp keen frost in the night stars look so bright giving you a light never be lost

Reading this vicariously placed me among the heathers of Scotland. Great descriptiveness and rhyming here.
