The old familiar dreariness feel
clung to thick morning mists.
I breathed in deeply,
trying to catch the scent
of            new day
only to sense the smell
      of despair.

No amount
of coaxing thoughts positive
to surface could        lift
the seemingly sempiternal
   veils of drudgery
     shrouding moments
         in somberness.

I dressed,
slipping into my happy face
and stepped outside
searching for light slivers
that would hopefully reflect
today’s dismal

   but already
       was the sky,
              tainted grey.

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Well catch your breath, little one
because the snow, she be a'comin'...

*wink*

and you'll have a little bright white light
to go with all that grey...

It is so dreary and grey here today and one of bright spots I have found so far has been on this page of blue. Good morning Karilea.

The sky is grey and it's raining here Donna..
how very much I would enjoy a cold crisp yet sunny winter's morn.

Love the image of slipping into your happy face...(I do it too!)

Hugs to you sweet lady~

You vividly paint the grayness of your day...but never fear the light always comes out to warm the heart even if it is in the winter...

Donna - I felt this one all the way to my bones - I know these feelings too well - one of the reasons I wish away winter - even withe the snow I need the sun - and you are so right - these pages of blues help to brighten the gray

Best to you today - hugs and love -

Susan
