Winter nights

Long spells of darkness

Souls may wither

A longing for sun.

 

Winter days

Sun’s deception

Bitter chill assails

Elusive warmth

 

Frail the spirit

Forlorn, lost to sorrow

Weak it hungers

A soul’s plea.

 

Yearning for rebirth

Seeking life’s renewal

Discarded heart

A longing, a need.

 

Once thought never

Again revives

A seed called love

Spring arrives.
