Cloudy Sunrise

Sunrise is usually a blinding sight. 

The burning sun rising above mountains, clearing the horizon,

igniting everything in its path. 

"Look at me!" The sun screams. 

Today it's cloudy, this morning quiet rain is fluttering onto onyx pavement,

washing away lines between night and day, with soft awakenings. 

Saturday has come, a day to get away from the stress.

The clicking of a keyboard as I type, the music waving around

in my headphones, keeping my head in line...

Rain hitting against my window lightly, 

light grey clouds masking a stifling sun. 

For once the silence doesn't bother me, as the music drones to a close,

the only noises being the quiet hum of my laptop,

the cars slowly disturbing puddles on the street outside, 

the rain against the window.

Times like these make life

worth living.
