Dreary Day

A poem for the loved ones we've lost.


I awoke this lonely, dreary, day
to all the clouds of steely gray
life's vibrant colors losing hue
with not but empty things to do


Till the rain falls in its contempt
To mock the many tears I've spent
its blurring haze caused disarray 
Drowns the mind of things we'd say


Sat there by windows of the past
these things in life that never last
My broken thoughts, storm through
As I awoke this day still missing you

I'll be working on them again, with more interested in the process and styles than just freeform and couplets. Good to see you're still keeping busy!

Thanks for sharing this... but what matters most to believers who have hope in Christ is the assurance of seeing each other with the Lord in eternity. God bless you.
