Daylight is getting longer
Mid-January, two minutes more daylight per day
Light dismissing the dark
White driving away the gray
Trees in Winter, snow covered now
Black and white in deep sleep
from Autumn, bright colors and melancholy song
Write it large
beginning new
The daylight is getting longer
Drive away the bitter cold
Open now, light, broad as day
Hope is stirring
Stars bright in the winter night sky
Looking up with thoughts of you
Ground frozen and covered white
Still You “cut out rivers among the rocks”
Daylight is getting Longer, Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta
About this Poem: Daylight is getting Longer, is about mid-January when each day adds a few minutes of daylight. Winter seems long and seasonal affective disorder can take a toll with less daylight. Hopefulness increases as we see the days get longer and the dark of winter is driven away by light. I think of God and creation as I consider the seasons, observe the night sky, and hear the water from melting snow running among the rocks. - Joe Holuta
