The Grey Day

just how much does the weather effect our emotions

The Grey day

 

The dark grey clouds

Hang heavily in my heart

As a brand new day begins

Will I embrace the hail and rain?

Will the grey lurk within?

Causing sadness, unrest, numbness

The thunder rumbles above me

The lightning, strikes a chord within me

Excitement builds, yet anxiety lingers

My breathing changes as I release the grey.

In a amid the grey sky, there sits a tiny blue cloud

Just hovering, giving me hope

The heavens open

I run out barefooted

Raise my hands above my head

Feeling the coldness of the rain

It reaches parts that have laid there

Dormant, dead, exhausted.

I run my hands through my wet hair

Lavishing the pureness

Of it all

With a new lease of energy I’m off

Flying now, on the wings of a white dove.

Marvellous. I love the notion of exploring the link between our inner climate and the outer. Yet your poem seems to shift from the intellectual to the soul as you surrender to the life giving energy of the rain. My fave line is, 'My breathing changes as i release the grey'.

I took some shots of the sky a couple of days ago. i will stick them on here in a moment.

Weather can have a big impact on human emotion. But I suppose that goes for some people. Some simply love the rain and makes them happy - while others get quickly depressed. Nicely written piece. Well done.

I like the emotions expressed, I believe that weather can definitely have an effect on our feelings. I have actually seen a white dove flying after a storm and was very beautiful against the grey clouds...I keep reading it over and over, the more I read it, the more i like it :)
