Grey Sky
The sky is grey today.
Not the grey of sidewalks and school yards, but the bright shining grey that hints at daylight beneath.
On days like these I feel heavy.
As though someone has filled my pockets with stones. The weight of them slowly dragging me down throughout the day.
And then, a sudden break in the clouds.
Like a promise fulfilled, it shines through my window and basks my face in the company of its warm light, giving hope to a brighter day ahead.
And then, as quickly as it came, it’s gone.
Leaving only a dull grey glow in its wake, and I am once again left cold and alone with these pocket stones.
