winter of discontent

Winter of Discontent

Cloudiness has settled in the sky
An act of unpalatable truth of the kind
A summer sun easily hides 
Old dwellings are full of cracks 
Sagging roofs and dust on the windowsill
Pot-holed roads, dry as clay, lead from
From doom to the gloom of routines 
Nothing changes; life is an endless struggle 
Spring is far away
Then, a miracle happens, splitting clouds
I saw the sun, as the flowers in the garden 
had seen 
warming my face, letting the illusion continue
