BLESSINGS

Dank, gray, hazy -
the day advances,
after one of pure Spring bliss;
the doldrum of winter
has reared its shaggy head,
taking us back to the chill and forboding
we are all trying to overcome.

Will this winter ever end?
And when it does, will we continue
to wish for something else again?
We seem to never be content
with what is right in front of us,
wishing our lives away for the next passing fancy.

So, bless the drizzle,
bless the cold,
bless the lack of sunshine gold.
Bless the day,
bless the week,
bless the things we continually seek.
