Blue Day

some days I just feel that way
the way I feel alone today
my soul alone, mind in a fray
some days I feel alone today

alone today to face the fears
wearing grinding of the gears
things are not what they appear
abutment at the road's end nears

some days I'm just out that way
so little gratitude felt to pray
some days run ditched, gone astray
wait 'til tomorrow for good day

all pleasant prospects disappear
expunged by soul's darkest fears 
clouded 'til day's outlook clears
and contented countenance reappears

happily though the blues won't stay
after all, tomorrow is another day   {in the voice of Scarlett O'Hara}
blues will change, to come what may
joy comes back, blues fly away
