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.
