Wet. Dreary, it rains.
I long for, my gentle man,
your presence.
As it melts the snow
and turns the gray sky blue
But I wait,
And grow gay in the gray sky
for now-
Because we begin to appreciate color
when we are surrounded by the lack of.

“I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way: The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear, fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear.” -Edgar Guest

Interesting. For my part, I certainly revel in gray skies! I don't always see them as lacking color, though, rather I see it as bespeaking something  very *saturate* and solomn. But after being surrounded by grey, I find I delight in the brighter parts of life!
Peace! Thank you for this thought provoking piece!
