It’s so dark, cold and windy tonight.
As I sat down, something compelled me to write.
Winter is not at all my favorite season,
Mainly because I’m always freezing.
Although, I have to admit I like how it forces me in,
Had it been sunny, who knows where I might have been.
When I am at home more I clean, organize, and create dreams in my space,
Because let’s face it, outside these walls it’s a fucking rat race.
I’m inspired to make new art, read, and creatively write,
These are all things that come to me very late at night.
So I lose sleep and I can’t get my fix of nature,
Connecting with the Earth has been a wonderful cure.
It’s too cold today,
“No,” I won’t come out and play.
My body, soul, and mind need rest,
Because everyday can’t be your best.
I will continue to honor how I feel,
I will continue to be authentic and real.
Although I don’t like being cold, I understand the need for all four seasons,
And for everything, I am assured that God has his reasons.
So I will not force what doesn’t flow,
And I don’t care about the status quo.
