Blackness

Blackness pursues me
in this rain sodden valley
From the early morning
tearful awakenings
To despair chasing through
dark tinged night mares
Afagddu stalks again
traps me in skeins of dark intent
Stitches melancholic thoughts
to blankets of despair
Knits winter blues
to shades of grey
Daytime spent
huddled close
to the fire
Watching flames consuming
the summers light

*A gloomy sad day here in the valley. Fog lays in thick blankets and the cold begins to penetrate again. My blood sugar levels are high, the diabetic grip tightens... I need light!
