Dear dreary evening

Covering the sunset

with your thick billowed clouds

a little sliver of orange

dared peek through

quickly doused in grey

a little sliver of daydream

dared to warm me

quickly doused in real

the lines lined up

in the grey sky

like pages of a journal

daring me to write

my feelings out

what I keep secret

in my heart

goes rogue

once in a while

and I rein it back in

with strings

from my heart

the lines remain

unfilled

on a dreary evening.

    The quiet melancholy mixed with tiny sparks of warmth really stayed with me. It made me appreciate those fleeting moments of daydream even more.

    The lines lining up like pages in a journal is such a nice touch, I love it!
