Overcast Gray


Gray today. I have lived through overcast days before,
Have survived alone below the cover blanketing life
From horizon to horizon.

Overhead, geese seem within reach, piloting just above
The treetops, winging for better visibility. Nature has its
Ways adapting to the change.

And my forecast today is gray, more than a scientific
Measure of the weather for me, a steely cloud-covered
Conditioning of the mind.

I have managed many changes and solitary days before.
For now, geese know their limitations and instinctively
Skirt the treetops, winging toward their destination.

Shrouded and grounded, I am headed nowhere today.
Tomorrow perhaps a clearing, and the Sunshine of my
Disposition may reappear. But today...alone and gray.
