Dampened

the glimmer
is lost from skies
and eyes 

this dampened ground
can’t  hold anymore tears 
than my pillow can 

i am lost
somewhere
in the fogginess
of another somber rise 

grounded hope
dissipating 
in uncertainty 
as I stand alone
in this rain
watching streams
flow down lonely streets
where shadows once fell

cracks hidden within
like society these days

(Bus scribble)

Another somber rise...hurry up spring, we need you now. Lonely and sad under misting skies. This one brings a tear to my eye.

A somber day can evoke saddened thoughts for many--sun is around the corner, Sandy.
