A Cloudy Sky

Out into the day I seek
Sun rays to warm the weak
Instead I find a cloud filled sky
Greeting me with a bleary hi

Out into the day I stay
Enjoying the suns lack of rays
Looking at those heavenly banks
So grey and bunching into hanks

Like so much grey and blue wool I've spun
Lifeless in the sunless sky
Until pulled and stretched and twisting is done
Revealing a warm yarn with a fuzzy halo

Then after taking it's fate
With careful knitting
Yarn all dull and grey
Wraps against the cold

So was today's dreary fate
Wrapping the slumbering earth
In it's grey sheltering warmth
Holding her snug and tight against the evening cold

Author's Note

Just a few thoughts on how a cloudy day makes for a warmer night in the winter.

I so get that.....great images that evoke that feeling on a cloudy day. The cloudy evening in Mexico this evening paved the way for an almost undescribable sunset......hooray for the clouds tonight. Great work.
