Wintry Anticipation

All trees turn leafless...
and as skies are less brilliant,
they induce boredom;
ah, days are shorter than nights,
making hearts sad for four months!

How true this is, Andrew! I can never muster up much enthusiasm when the days are so short during the winter. Frankly, I think sunlight has a healing quality in a spiritual sense. Maybe that is why suicides escalate so much during the holidays when days are so brief. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
