Still Life

 
errant in thought
I will the day away
the sun has hidden
hiding its face from me

I sucummb to the gray
one grievous thought after another
everything somber
its moodiness gets to me

I sulk in the dull light
keeping my feelings to myself
memories wash over me
poignant in nature
black and white still life
captured in the moments inbetween

melancholy emotions stir inside me
loneliness embraces me
I quiet my thoughts
and become one with the rain
