Rome

A grey day in Rome...

The grey sky is hanging over us,

covering the world with a state of confusion.

People moving so quickly and carelessly,

forgetting to take time to see the beauty of life.

A sunrise, a sunset, a starry night,

or a river flowing gently...

A child playing innocently in a park,

laughing, singing, living.

An embrace, a hug to say goodbye,

or a tear running down someone's face.

Life's great moments, forgotten.

Trapped in a state of confusion,

under this grey sky hanging over us.
