I Do Not Cower

Gray covered skies, tints of light
Waiting, trying, to do what is right
A storm of thoughts in my mind
Gets even worse with what I find

There’s a stagnant air outside
I thought I heard an angel that cried
There’s a stillness around today
That indicates more is on the way

Minutes pass slowly, birds chirping count
Many things suddenly mount
Finding answers, that were not known
Flying places, I haven’t flown

Gray covered skies, tints of light
Remain the same each hour
I look at the color of the flower,
Blooming through a rain shower
	   -  I do not cower  -

Joe Dimino Date: 6/1/2022 1:48:00 PM Nature is indeed a soul reflection. What mankind holds on the inside manifests in the outside world of material substance. Our earth is a reflection of ourselves. "Gray covered skies, tints of light Remain the same each hour I look at the color of the flower, Blooming through a rain shower - I do not cower -" Splendid poetry and truth!
