Overcast

The world above has been put to rest for now.
A blanket of grey and of white
has taken its place.

Our fire has been put out, also;
sleeping, it must be.
A well deserved rest.

I wait patiently beneath the blanket that gives no warmth.
No insulation.
No comfort.

I wait patiently for the return of my sky,
so blue.
I wait patiently for the return of my sun,
so warm.

I wait.

You sound like I feel, waiting for spring to come and for the winter weather to finally break. It's torture knowing that warmer days are so close and still feeling so far from it. Wonderful imagery and language - simple, but thoughtful. Nicely written. :)

Thank you for writing, I do appreciate it!:) Yes I live in Minnesota and I have had at least three "its spring" days but then winter crawls back.. but I think it finally has ended now!!

OH man, I know that feeling. I'm in northern New England and I even pulled out my birkenstocks one day cause it was so springy! Hope that warmer weather finds you, soon!

I Live in Calgary,
It is soo bad here
In the winter it was like spring,
but now in spring everything keeps frosting

I know that feeling. The ground had maybe a foot of snow left last week, and then it snowed another three inches two days ago and now we have freezing rain. So over it.

It must be hard to be a weatherman, due to all the climate changes
