Shimmer In The Grey

a poem for cloudy days

Rain falls on each one of us

Pain fills up our skies

Ills we carry with us

Arbitrary truths and lies

Joy is always behinds us

Employ its servants wise

Counterfeits seek our love

Sour us with its spies

Hands will seek what they need

Plans get sowed and some will reap

Offset by desires

Liars hunt us in the deep

Eyes hide our true nature

Disguise your pain and toll

Endure the desultory

Purgatory for the soul

In the depth of your sadness

When all has fallen away

Recall with glimmer and hope

Shimmer in the grey

Become the morning sunlight

Adorning loving eyes

Look up and part the clouds

Rook from life’s cruel lies

Your eyes may carry sadness

Recognize they carry light

May you see always brightness

Free from fears in the night
