“…daylight is getting longer…”



 

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
