I Don't Know Why

The darkness knows where I live

The longest night of the year

and it's Winter again

dreams turn into nightmares

and sleep is no escape

sickness means more time spent

indoors under dull bulbs

morning fog feels like

my brain but the sun

never sears the fog away

it's trapped behind a perpetual

cloud.

I don't know why.

The darkness knows where I live.

Very powerful poem, Anne Marie. I know the feeling all too well, as well.
The darkness may still know where we live, but how about if we take away all its keys?! Without the keys to get in, it loses its power over us.

This is one of your most powerful poems you've written. Thanks for sharing it.

I liked it so mush I had to read it again.

This is an excellent poem, Anne Marie - an intense reflection on life. But every cloud has a silver lining, so to speak.
I know whereof you speak, but have seldom seen it so well described!

Blessings to you...

good poem winter is depressing for me too but I would rather endure that than the heat of summer which I find unbearable.

yum - the glumness of winter has been captured and questioned ~j

I couldn't believe how much better I felt spending Christmas in Florida. The sunshine and warm weather really changes who I am...I can't figure out why I live here, in the gray...cold...depressing midwest.
