I’ve spent the
past week catching up after my writers’ conference with little time to write a
blog post, so I’m celebrating the extra hour of sleep by using a poem I wrote
in March 2013. Here it is.
Spring
Forward, Fall Back
Spring forward
To save an hour of
daylight.
Put it in the bank
Until the dark of winter.
Fall back
Into the evening gloom.
Open the vault
To lengthen the days.
Empty the treasure chest
Of sunlight and illusion.
Evening hours borrowed from
morning,
And then returned.
No hour gained,
No hour lost,
Each day still with
twenty-four
To run its course.
Minds are easily
deceived,
But you can’t fool Mother
Nature.
