The Weather and darkness

I was given 8 words to work with

This early spring weather is a delight on my skin. Winter has the ability to condemn us to a dark black pit of our soul. Hoodwink by the hours of darkness only to come as we continue this path. We think we are puny in the world around us. It's not true, the world is immense and we can do anything. This planet with all its living things in it is our playground. Soon Summer will return and the days will be bright again. I'll put the past in a box in the attic until it all comes around again.
