Melancholy Skies
On these days
With melancholy skies
I reflect on past things
That stir me to sighs
Of Lost opportunities
Or those dear ones above
Mistakes on mistakes
Against those I love
Gray day clouds
Like a mirror to reflect
Those past errors
Or things of neglect
Introspective views
Of things I’d rather forget
A vow not to repeat
To cause more regret
While painful to admit
In a personal review
Of how we travel this life
Give direction on how to renew
