In Elizabeth's response to my "Oh, Gladsome Tide" this evolved.

Ode to a Cloudy Sky
Virginia Salter

Oh, cloudy sky
as you roll by
might we expect of you a promise.

Though you block out the sun
in the morning’s run
might you fill our chalice?

To look to you for cleansing,
for spirit-filled relief
in the soothing of a shower
to heal, allay our grief?

Though gray and gloom
may fill the room
and tempt to thwart our lives
to rise above
a featherless dove,
to miraculously survive!
