Dreary Day

Bone chilling rain pelting down
From the dreary gray clouds above
Dampening the whole little town

Insipidness filling the soul
Soaking deep inside the skin
Creating an empty black hole

Gloomy clouds surround the mind
Causing thick foggy thought to form
Making sadness and tears combine

Ice drops flowing deep inside
Reaching to the pulsing heart
Leaving the brain unable to hide

Emotions swirling deep within
Waiting patiently to strike
Creeping up quietly again

Author's Note

It seems nature can affect our thoughts, or a least mine. On Saturday we had 36 degree ferh. temps with cold rain and this is how this poem came about.

I love the rain but it does bring back good/bad, fond/wretched old memories and a sense of uncontrollable joy/ sheer helplessness or hopelessness at the same time. This one's on that and does a great job finding all those train stations within the mind when the train is the "bone chilling rain". great write..And on a topic i love..

Rain is a brief moment when people like us (or whatever you make of that) are forced to reflect on something we've neglected or need to acknowledge. That could be both good and bad, depending on how you look at it.

Great write.
