heavy sky
by Charlie Morganthe day's door was closing fast;
the clouds were sweating;
holding the sun at bay.
she had brought me roses;
they were in her smile,
her voice and demeanor.
she opened the closed door;
the library was in repair,
many people needed plurals.
they are afraid to listen;
afraid they'll hear that
tomorrow is canceled.
so i trailed her skirt's hem,
it lead me to her heart.
her smile welcomed me in.
so we became us.

has to be the best description of a rainy day I can remember reading. I should just put your whole library in my favorites. Beautiful, Chaz. I love how you express what you see in the clouds. mmm mmm mmmmmmmm....
