Waiting in the dark

waiting in the dark
this season and place
tilted away from the sun
provides generous hours
of darkness
darkness may harbour
breathtaking fear
endless dread of unknowns
aching hearts
darkness may host
healing rest
lovemaking
visitations in dreams
babies grow strong
in dark wombs
turnips and beet roots
stretch and fatten
in dark earth
darkness provides
a poignant canvas for
constellations ablaze
meteor showers
lunar rhythms
