A Midwinter's Mantra

Midwinter!
And I welcome its coming
for I now know that this is the
Midwinter of my life
when the Sun has sunk as low as
he can get
And can go no lower.

Now all must change;
all must be made new.
I will no longer be that man
sinking into darkness,
but I will feel the new heat of my own rising.
Everyday I will commit to burning
brighter and brighter.

Ah, I will become a pirate and seize what I will!
let no man say it is not mine to take!
for I will take it and
make it mine or die trying,
and this shall be
my new mantra as I journey
into Summer.
