gray skies

 

day
after
day
I see gray
the sky is uninspired

longing for the days when
shades of blue and sun
create stories
for all to see 
its mystery on display

I want to write
I long for the release 
that expression provides
ready to burst
at times

watching
reading
listening
writing
being
connected

today though
I'm on the outside
looking in
seeing a version
of life
versions actually

living to help others
focused on the world 
surrounding me
instead of seeing the eyes
staring back at me
waiting
