Releasing the Load
A sky’s pasty pallet,
thickly stroked
with a heavy brush,
lends pale shadows
to the earth below
while a filament
of a memory
improves the dreariness
with joyous rays
Soon to follow
comes the rain
as the clouds lessen
their laden load
and the day brightens
as remembrances lighten
and sorrow steams away
on the pavement
of a renewing heart
