Shades of gray envelope me,
and
sometimes they just will not let me
be.
Thoughts persist of my release,
to
finally know the comfort of needed
peace.
Needing days of not being
blue,
to rest assured inside I can make it
through.
Clear any doubts in my
head,
falling soundly asleep every night in
my bed.
Wake up feeling really
good,
maybe taking a stroll in the
neighborhood.
Feeling fresh air upon my
face,
while morning winds down to a slower
pace.
Shades of gray fill the skies
too,
the weather forecast saying rain is
overdue.
Winter is now approaching
fast,
shorter and cold days, either rain or
overcast.
Fall has taken her seasonal
bow,
streets of leaves seem melancholy
somehow.
Soon holidays lights will
appear,
bringing thoughts of families filled
with cheer.
Knowing soon the snow will
fall,
recalling past winters and the beauty
of it all.
When shades of gray turn
white,
snow glistens on the ground in the
moonlight.
Days for hot chocolate are
here,
any gloomy thoughts will completely
disappear.
Knowing on a cold wintery
night,
is always the perfect time to snuggle
up tight.
Get up early and build a
snowman,
enjoying the serenity as the snow
starts again.
Throw some logs in the
fireplace,
shades of gray of morning have now
been erased.
Loving thoughts then turn to
you,
and the beautiful winters we have been
through.
Assuring me things will be
alright,
when all the shades of gray fade
into the night.
