Lost Blessings of the Sun




My discontentment grows each day.
Will deity push smudged clouds away
And warm the air in heaven’s hair
And give me raiments, arms to bare?

My discontenting thoughts pervade
With hoary frost lost promise paid.
But cry no tears, nor weave the cloth
The tapestries of summer’s loss.

The snowy crown of brightness white
Now soiled with gray and black with blight.
I fear the full, once gleaming sun
Has lost the battle.  Winter’s won.

And now upon my shoe will play
An ugly mud, an ugly day
My toil up barren hills begun
I crave the blessings of the sun.
