~ Winter Solstice ~
Beyond the window skies are overcast
within the heart as well. Grey hovers
over Christmas with unseen clouds
of melancholy tempering one’s joy
Between - inside the room, a smile beams
if anyone should ask - we’re doing well
- a mask worn like a decorated cast
to hold one’s self together
It’s December, for some a month of loss
yet the season of expectation to be
joyful in spite of multi-level angst
pandemic pain, new mourning
Yet when the sun’s warm glow
creeps past cloudy edges amid
cheerful bursts of Christmas tunes
smothered joy breaks through anew!

Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for reading!
Thanks so much, Jen. Nice to see you!
Grey hovers over most everything--sort of a film that adds a frisson of anxiety over the least little everything. As long as one recognizes this, light can shine. This little light of mine.
Amen. I like how you express this. Thanks.
