Blue Monday

When those shades of grey, turn a Monday blue,
and tears from heaven, soak the holey shoe.
The soul of the day, will fall from favor,
with the distant sound, of a lightning saber.

The day so dismal, with a kidnapped sun,
though it passes by, still we come undone.
For when suffering, time travels so slow,
yet it's all a part, of the greater show.

The courtesan clouds, reveal a late sky,
that fiery light, in a lover's eye. 
If then comes the rain, to ruin your day,
stop and remember, when life came to play!
