February 3: We Need Sunshine

We need sunlight today, though

I expect it will stay cloudy all day.

Yesterday, despite the bitter cold,

the sun beamed brightly, melting

ice on rooftops, trees and driveways,

finding its way into our despairing

hearts and minds, which have dwelt

far too long in darkness, waiting,

deeply needing sun to break through.
