Winter Sunshine

The world is dark,

dark as winter before snow.


Not close enough to a city

to look pretty, lit up with lights.


Imagine daylight

overpowering darkness

as the sun peeks over cliffs of houses. 


Shades of the wooden fence 

guarding the park, 

darker grooves built-in.

Rain and snow,

years of weathering.


Wildflowers fences enclose

vibrant hues,

of yellows and oranges,

memories of summer.


Dark again, 

waiting on sunshine in winter, 


stuck


between deep purples and pinks,

of late fall 

looking for sunshine in winter.

I wrote this about losing something and finding something even more beautiful while waiting for it to come back.
