it’s summer in my soul again

despite the frigid, biting cold 
it’s summer in my soul again.

despite the roaring, horrid times 
it's summer in my soul again.

everything feels wondrous 
fresh 
bright 
possible.

depression has peeled back 
its freezing fingers from around 
my heart 
and mind.

i breathe, unfurl my wings
reach and reach for warmth and light. 
laughter bubbles 
hope glows.

and oh! 
i am free 
free 
free!

in spite of so much 
it's summer in my soul again.

Hey, guys!! Happy February! I hope you enjoyed this little poem of mine! I haven't shared one of these monologue-things since July! 

What is one good thing God gave you in January? I'll go first: After being inspired by Olivia at summerof1999, I began consistently writing poetry again! 

Thank you so very much for reading my blog today! 
Go be epic!
