Gray Skies

Just came across this in one of the old notebooks I used to write in figured it was worth posting.

Rain runs down my windowpane

The soft sound fills my head again

Dreams of sunny days gather quick

The cold, dank weather has me sick

Like the world outside, I shed a tear

I only wish that I were far from here

Where the ocean and sky live as one

Perturbed only by a gentle passing sun

 

When it rains like this I think of you

For you my dear, kept my skies blue

Nary a cloud ever dotted the azure sky

Passing ships could not catch my eye

You were radiant in the sparkling sands

As we clasped together our open hands

Our hearts moving in perpetual motion

As we stare out into the infinite ocean

 

The days passed by and we grew older

Over time, summer skies grew colder

And our island paradise shriveled away

Now we are left with nowhere to stay

Autumn, precursors winter's white doom

Do we too succumb to the coming gloom

Or will you and I find a path to salvation

In the corridors of our lurid imagination

 

Sunny days have been laid to waste

Fall passed us by with fervent haste

In it's wake the gray skies held fast

Under trees great shadows were cast

As rain soon fell on the leaves, we ran

But we ended up lost, without a plan

Now we're caught here in between

Where to go and where we've been

 

I kept on moving right through the night

As heavy skies filled with morning light

I realized I was left alone out in the mire

So now I sit here in this shack by the fire

Thinking of where you might be off to

Wondering if you see true skies of blue

All the colors of my world faded away

Without you, I live under skies of gray

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine:) Lol, it reminded me of the song, only in a depressing way. Love the poem!
