by Morton Design Works, posted in Journal, Poetry

Through the Days of Overcast

by Morton Design Works, posted in Poetry

Overcast Cold and grey I think I will stay home today Not because I’m down or sad The cloudy days make me glad  -- I get to see the world asleep Tucked warmly in their flower beds A new perspective is all I need To have a day well spent  -- The days of warmth … Continue reading Through the Days of Overcast
