Gray

Today was a gray gray day
And I didn't wish it to go away
In contrast to our bright, hot sun

A relief from burning was a welcomed one

Soon the clouds let loose their hold

Releasing rain drops that had grown bold

Falling softly and landing with a splash

On my shoulder, my nose, even my eyelash

Little rain globes form puddles on the ground

And echo 'pitter' 'patter' as their sound

Otherwise in silence they fall fast

And keep one day gleefully overcast
