Overcast Puddles

`

An autumn 
sun brightly 
glowing
in a 
cloudless sky
filters 
through
my office 
window

as I can
only stare
at an overcast 
puddle 
of teardrops
formed in
the shape of
your 
sadness

'teardrops/formed in/the shape of/your sadness' - that is exquisite, Chris, so skillful!

We wonder whose sadness...yours or a loved one. Is it your reflection in the window. And that a poet stares wanting to be elsewhere...etc.. a cool brevity write. And hey, not looking for answers...just musing.

The muse dictates...we listen, we write and others add color to the imagination
