	"The Quest for My Self"

The third day
of the last month
of this year
It frightens me
with its finality
its broken promises
And as always
I raise my eyes
to the Sun
Hoping again
that the light
will lead me on
Within this Winter
of my spirit
I falter
The roots
that gave me strength
trip me now
Hidden beneath leaves
in the snow
that covers my heart
