winter days

when the clouds move in
when they set up camp below the
trees and mingle with the fallen leaves

i find solace in notes
high and low
strung together like birds on wire

and truth finds me in my waking life:
there is no divine favoritism

we are each of us like the tree
which loses its leaves when
the sun moves away

yet cognizant still that
the sun will return
and life will continue its
cycle of ebb and flow

i like. the melancholy and hope, intermingled. like it's okay to feel down, but you're not wallowing in it.
