a thaw in relations
inspiration lies low
like ursa minor in hibernation
like tulip bulbs
stirring in february soil
blue eyes painted over
darkened skies
peek past wintry clouds
and toward a brand new day
open arms warmly welcome
a once elusive sun
promising to thaw a world
hopeful to rise again
january two thousand sixteen

I find more inspiration in darkness… even the a single candle stands bright.
That is so true so very many of us!
