Leaving the darkness of depression behind |
All darkness fades no matter how dark and empty the space And with the light comes so many small joy's Life has so many treasures and until we suffer real pain we can not see them or even begin to understand the smallest of things. From the coldness of the winters death, The icy breath and the misty air, come the musty cold and barren smells of the damp bush lands, the frosty ground, and the ice covered rivers. Ahhh to enjoy the cold of the winter morn, the coming of the morning light, enhance the winter beauty. The softness of the sunlight on the snow covered ground, the harsh cold wind a welcome chill, a breath of fresh air. The darkness starts to fade. The thaw of spring, the new life blooms, The beautiful fragrances that waft in the gentle breaze, the cherry blossoms floating in the wind to settle on the ground like snow, what a beautiful sight to see. A brighter sun shine and gentle warmth that warms the heart and mind. And Oh the summer heat, what a glory to behold, the depth of colour in the sky so brightly blue and calming, to the dark and threatening thunder clouds that bring the blessed rains. And Oh the delightful smell of the eucalypts after the summer storms, the freshness in the wind, as it skims along the shore. Oh to feel the summer sun, on face and skin and sand. The wonderous colours of the fall, the leaves turn gorgeous shades of yellow to red, the summer heat begins to fade, and gently fall the beautiful leaves to the ground, their life is done for another year. My favorite time of the year by far, the cooler air inspires a change, in mood and energy. the first heavy dew, to the first ice cold frost, and we know that winter once again is near. the light begins to fade once more, but this time not in total dispair. The winters death brings life and hope, the wonderful warmth of an open fire, to toast your toes at the end of the day. The pleasure of a warming glass of wine as you watch the snow begin to fall, it won't belong until the spring returns, and live becomes anew.
