Downcast

~

under a rare pale grey, 

sky, so thin it appears 

translucent, we scurry

about our deliberations,

its feeble pallor cast 

meekly down upon us, 

like the oceans, we too

reflect the colour of the

sky, taking our moods 

and mindset from its

random offerings,

on this ambivalent day 

we shy away from levity

knit our brows and 

procrastinate, hoping

something will turn up,

surely there will be

better days ahead
