…is melancholy grey
The day is melancholy grey
bathed in swirling haunting mists
that shift like shadows through the trees
sighing as they play
the clouds hang heavy with a deep sadness
that echoes in the depths of my soul
a sorrowful song
slowly winding out across the quiet sky
and the rain begins its beating
softly drumming like the helpless trembling
of a lonely heart
falling softly, a ceaseless sobbing
cool tears gently flowing
into the winding rivers
of waiting time

Moving towards winter here in Oz and Easter is often rainy for the entire holiday break. Good for poets however! Have written 16 new poems this week – a record for me, so there will be a little extra posted soon!

Beautiful, as they say
““The rain to the wind said,
You push and I’ll pelt.’
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged–though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.”
