Steel Gray

Steel gray clouds suppress the dawn Maybe rain hides up there At least a damp coolness hovers Suggesting autumn almost here The sun is behind the dark clouds There's a glimmer seen A hole in the mass has pink streaks And in the woods deer dreams A few barn swallows dart above Catching the early bugs A Red Cardinal sings love songs As roosters crow proudly smug Like the man who struts along in time To an internal beat Roosters' breast extended plumage Arrogant on the street
