Just a Gray Day

Pearl shrouds from the heavens  
Riding fast 
Storms are brewing a winter’s blast 
Winds nipping at your back 
Cutting through everything with a crack
Sleet on my widows tapping away 
No site of the sun today 
Natures reminding all 
Of her order of things 
More time to wait 
Till the spring birds sing
Gloomy and dim
Behind a hidden limb
Shaking and bracing 
A sparrow so grim 
Cover up 
Take a sip 
Of a cup 
Have some coffee or tea 
Banish into a book
A romantic novel with plea 
Feel the comfort inside 
Where you sit and hide 
From the day 
Today
So gray
