Bleak days can bring down my mood. Not depressed, but not energised. Finally went to the grocery store after it turned dark. Funny how the darkness is better than looking at an overcast day.

clouds cold
subduing, suppressing
entity, inhabitant
activity ambivalent
bone-chilling

inhale
brilliance of sun 
stark shining dreams
embodiment of
exuberance

I couldn't agree more with how gray days can sap our energies and slow the flow of our Muses creative juices. Nicely done, Kim.
