Sunless Days
The clouds have their day
to release what’s pent within
no longer able to hold the mask
of sunny days meant to last
the halcyon all pursue
a status quo for the abused
idyllic for the quick glimpse
when inquires seek portends
even as the coming storm
gathers round behind the smile
heavy with the unresolved
echoes of the saddest times
soon to drench the frowning crowds
scurrying to answer shelter’s prompt
away from those who can't escape
the overcast of sunless days.
