I never realized how much the seasons had an effect on us not just physically but psychologically also. An epiphany on my part. I always viewed winter as a time to sit back, pack on a couple of pounds, hide from the horrible cold and frost, enjoy the snow when possible and look forward for when the earth and it's creatures can wake up again but boy! did the wait seem to be a long and hard one this time around.

Gray skies so evoking
Carrier of raw emotions
Cradling dreary spirits
To carry me to troubled territories

The future remains a fearfull, form-less shifting figure
An array of self-inflicted wounds
