Awake

Drab day outside my window

leaves me curled into blanket nook

of dreams

ah, yes
   to dream, to dream

I dream of sunshine,

flowers wriggling through cool earth

fighting to gain topside

As we all do

  on a day like today

gray

Colour my world in sunshine

paint my world without tears.

of grief and passing,

I do tire.

Let Spring vault

higher

far higher than

the dirth in earth outside

For I am tired
