When did grey clouds appear
Suddenly to blot out my sunshine?
The leaden sky loomed
Above my light-filled thoughts
And my gladness wavered
To fill me with morbid thoughts.
Why did my moods change
When images crowd in
To misshape my feelings,
To color my emotions,
And to play hide-and-seek
Through the portals of my mind?
My window panes,
Often streaked with crystalline drops
Of yesterday’s rains,
Made me witness the changes
In the outside world
In perplex reactions.
And should I change too?
Why can’t my rainbows
Stay iridescent always
To make all my days
Sunny and bright?
I agree! Why does our mind have to wander back to days less happy?? I work often to find contentment and do, but then old memories come back. I guess that is just what life is all about. The happy days with the sad ones popping up. Liz
