Winter Blues

Winter Blues

     From dark to dark the chill hours tread slow,
     Where thought as if behind a curtain lies
     And sleep slips past its alloted hour.

     In this dull Season of good intent
     No sun strewn shadows define the day
     And bright ambition, unnoticed, stilled.

     Those in tune with Nature slow,
     When Nature rests and the world is still,
     And feel the Season’s dark embrace.
