Sunshine yawns, stretches and cracks through the sullen black out curtains of december. it shudders my eyes to see what's like an earthquake in the sky. mighty cries of yellow and gold speed through the coal of my horizon like a bamboo vine like the wrinkles and ***** of an old school football beaten and broken by the ***** shoes of nasty schoolboys frightening the mighty oppressors.
Seasonal Affective Disorder
I walk I with a capital I because the quake of light resolves my sadness for a second or two.
a stillness in the air that all that is lost is lost and all that is won is won and all we can do is rejoice in the now.
the light presses the skeletons of naked wintered trees onto the bus' window now pale and murky with the last of the black frost. their bony fingers wrapped around my bus with the natural cradle of a mother to her new born babe. I am one. white puffs of yes tickle the big blue pond of nothingness while steel bands of gold stretch across what was once such a dark and frightening place where i would become withered and broken as a plant beside a patient, dying with them. stretches over me like I'm looking up from beneath the bridge instead of down to the sea below.
the sunlight washes an old town in gold making it clean again. the darkness is over and the new has begun. all we have to do hell, all we can do is absorb it. experience it. survive it. my pestering thoughts join me in looking across at what has been the source or so many sleepless nights for me and others; together in peace for a few tender moments, a football game in 1914, Christmas day. January is now spring is now life is now. he is here. sunlight has awoken and is laughing with me once more. I am in love. and I am happy.
the bells of spring peel like the layers of darkness above my head. life is infinite once more and the sunlight dances on the grave of sadness and the world plays in major chord again.
