Overcast Skies

This cold winter rain makes me lazy. I miss the warm sunshine of fall. All I want to do is to rest. It seems I've no energy at all. I long for the coming of spring When my spirit and the earth are reborn. For the drab winter weather saddens me And leaves me feeling forlorn. This season has barely begun And I'm already wishing it gone. I miss the clear skies above And the bird's chatter greeting the dawn. Winter can be so depressing, Especially when you're alone. The rain, the snow and the cold, cold wind Leaves me feeling weary to the bone. I count the days till it's over And the spring arrives at last. Three more months is a long, long time To live life with skies overcast.
