The end of the holidays are now here.
It’s time to take down the decorations,
And put away the cheer until next year.
We have one day without expectations;
We’ll use it to brush off our hangover,
And build the resolve for reality.
It will give us the expected closure
That, in this time of year, we’ve come to see.
We will embrace the darkness of Winter.
Hiding within our dimly lighted cave,
The hibernation will never splinter
‘Til the melt helps us escape our enclave.
We’ll return to the lights of the season
When the earth finishes its rotation.
