The unsettling darkness
that comes with the days;
already I am craving sunlight.
It is disorienting.
Much of what I see, and all
I seem to know, remains
immured in this shifting
state of confusion.
It is more than the seasons;
greater change than I
have been prepared for.
Daily, I continue looking
for more light and further
guidance. More frequently,
I realize the answers, or
solutions, must come
from within.
This is my darkness.
This is my sin.
