When We Run Out Of Day Light
Left In The Dark
The weathers getting colder
Still much to do outside in the yard
Raking and picking up those leaves
Each day trying to do a little more
Finding time is not easy
Getting up earlier
A jump start on my day
Before winter sets in
Every year this becomes crunch time
One day of rain
The next day just bitter cold
Then we have the wind
I constantly look for a window of opportunity
With the summer things packed away
The yard shaping up
Soon left bear and empty
Next year we do it all over again
Pulling out the yard furniture and lawn decorations
They look so nice in between the flowers and the trees
Making it more pleasant
Now we pull out the Christmas decorations
Making the month of December festive and bright
Changing the décor
Creates a mood
One more way to express happiness
Then sharing that feeling of joy in every day

Those long dark nights I am going to spend being creative and end with Christmas movies.

Kari Poulsen I experience it. I don't know when the light will peek in. I keep looking for something to change. I want things to change. I expect things to change. Then it is as if change happened and I almost didn't see it. Now I can enjoy the pleasure that comes after all the turmoil. Thank you for reading and sharing. Have a peaceful night.
I like how this starts dark and ends bright. :)

Louise Powles How is Christmas different in England ? Do they decorate houses with lights and ornaments? I would love to see pictures ?I will post a few of the houses near us. I love when people are happy not just with themselves but with life around them. Christmas time lets people relax a little bit. At least for awhile before they get all crazy with Christmas shopping and holiday traffic. Thank you for reading and sharing.
This is a lovely poem. Yes, Christmas is just around the corner now. I can't wait. I love Christmas, it's my favourite time of year. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed time.
