This dragging winter of dread and despair
Lingers later. Longer. Bitter breeze bites the air.
Where is spring’s welcoming warm embrace?
Outstretched arms of golden rays ‘cross this gray, dreary space?

Vitamin D deficiency is taking its toll.
Bones brittle, sight sad, heart hurt, mood droll.
Supplements, shots, salmon, sprays can’t compare,
To the comforting rays of sun-swayed spring air.

I dream for days basking in soothing sun,
Yet, I’m stuck inside, mood coming undone.
This lack of light has squashed my soul low,
Vitamin D, how I miss your golden glow.

Days long, skies gray, wind wet, nights cold.
My mind’s feeling murky, my spirit so old.
Let’s supplicate weeks worth of warm days to come,
When gray clouds depart, revealing sun.
