From darkness to light

 

 Watching a distant storm skimming the horizon

while standing on dry land

with just the slightest feeling 

that the wind could bring the trouble nearer
and there we are without an umbrella or galoshes.

Then breathing a sigh of relief as it passes

and the sun returns.

If only all our worries could be blown away so easily.

Streams of (sunlit) pleasure ever flowing

Catching the sunlight wherever and whenever possible

as sadly it is not ever flowing just now.

And when it fades at15.51

bring on the twinkly lights

and be glad that it is only eight days until

the Winter Solstice.
