Ulrika Jonsson Instagram – Farewell, my beloved
August.
I shall miss you and your warm days of hope and promise. Your lazy evenings and heavy nights.
You, the last leap of summer.
You, the final huzzah for me and all the lions, before we are forced to wait impatiently for you to visit again.
And a quiet, subdued welcome to you, September. Always my nemesis.
Black Dog descending quietly and unassumingly.
I know you’re coming. I am forewarned by my persistently darkening mind; anxious, shadowy moments desperately seeking out the last of the light. But I am never forearmed.
You come, Black Dog every year.
You are consistent, I’ll give you that.
But no matter how I prepare myself, you snap at my heels until I’m forced to accept that we will walk side by side together until you set me free again.
And you will. Because you have before.
You’re consistent. I’ll give you that.
In the meantime I will try to keep my chin up to the sun. I will try to accept that without darkness I cannot appreciate the light.
I will endure.
I might yield from time to time and acknowledge your temporary presence.
But for now, a small and reluctant welcome to you, September. | Posted on 01/Sep/2024 14:38:19
