Yule tide frustrations

Focus, peace, quite, still

Working, listening, struggle against will

Finding patience in the darkest of hours

Bury the fruit for spring time flowers

Head butting in a crown of roses

Inner pain that battles foes

Of one kind and another

Between the lines of understanding

The new day comes

The hope and desire of wants and needs

Calm in the midst of chaos

Clarity of voice and understanding

Communicating and connecting the heart

Find a way to share the blessings

Open up and see the light

The dark of night in the longest moon

Alone in a crowded room

Full of thoughts and missing me

Where have I gone and where am I going

Accepting what is

Making what will be

Controlling nothing and riding the wave

Seeing the inner spark

Being still and knowing

Where has the happiness gone

Where is the peace I knew so well

Disturbed and angry with frustrated voice

I cry as I contemplate my reactions

This is the season of joyous giving

This is the time of spirit and connection

Others in pain that I can not help

Plans that I make get destroyed

Where is the fruit of good intentions

Where is the joy I want to give
