Gray inhales the light of day
Blocking out the warming rays
Clouds envelop skies of blue
Tears that fall like morning dew
Caressing gently, the browning lawn
Once an emerald against the dawn
Begins to wither and fade away
Bowing down to winter’s foray

The light stayed away
Hidden behind the grayest of gray
With darkness clouding the sky
All I can do is wonder why
This fear I cannot allay
Sleepily walking to nowhere
Wondering what I will find there
My mind in a daze
Lost in a maze
Glancing at shadows that tear
As they dance in dark, mysterious ways
Losing the hours, day after day
How do they find me
Slinking behind me
With their eerily haunting display
They gather around as they play
I’m filled with uncertain dismay
Staking their claim
They whisper my name
Dragging me back, into the gray

The color of silver clouded skies
Draws the darkness to my eyes
Brilliance shadowed in puffs of gray
No longer offering light of day
Frozen water from up above
Chilling haze indicative of
Winter’s linger across this place
With frozen kisses upon my face
White enshrouds what cannot bestow
Touched by gently falling snow
Pales the colors once so grand
Now faint upon the ground they stand
Bowing to the shivering wind
Once resplendent fades to dim
