New Day

That sun rises

But it never really comes

To light up this dusty sky.

Fall can be beautiful but

Not when dying leaves

Are all there is.

A wet warm rain

Would be nice right now

But that sky just won’t open.

Vindictive clouds,

Clear away so I can see the sun

Please?

It’s only your right to refuse

I understand

I just wish this storm

Would go away.
