Forget the grey

When the wind and the rain meet the grey of the day
And the temperature fails to inspire
When the trains not on time and they say “short delay”
Yet your heart overflows with desire
Then you may be in love and who knows if it shows
But the smile on your face is a clue
There’s a feeling inside and it glows as it grows
And you hope that she feels it for you
When your work is a bore and you fret to forget
That there’s places that you’d rather be
When you feel that each task is a bet at roulette
There’s nothing that can set you free
For you’re lost in the maze of a feeling so real
Each thought tends towards the extremes
First you worry your words will conceal your appeal
Then you dream you are living your dreams
So take courage my friend and admit all of it
Tell her all that you hold in your heart
You may find that she’s there and she’ll fit every bit
Of the puzzle your waiting to start
So the weather and work aren’t the true point of you
They’re only a foolish complaint
It’s the poet inside that will view all that’s new
And your life is the canvas you paint

It was a grey cold start to today …
