Winter's Sun

by Anisa Abeytia Yamani - Aquarius


I fade in winter's sun.
A winter day is like all of summer's nights
at once.

The darkness looms as clouds race past
and make pale the light 
that enters my room.

Early morning mist and fog
weigh heavy on a soul.
And make the heart's light work
of happy thoughts
come crashing down
thud
on the floor,
only to be lifted  by May's gentle breeze.

Then I break free of my translucent cage 
to merrily stride through pungent fields.
My life,
flooded with light 
and the promise of endless sunny days.

I could loose myself on a sunny day.
My mind like clouds drift 
and take on strange and familiar shapes.
And winter's thoughts become castaways 
on a mind bound for
heaven.
