grey sky – Leaf & Twig

Primary Colors

yellow bird
amid red buds
awaits blue sky

winter’s day
the sun and moon
transposed

in every grey day
light is always at work
moving towards a breakthough

wintry gust
dismisses the flock
flight like leaves

as leaves depart
the hideaway
is made known

shrouded grey December day
clouds carry today’s hope

grasses sing
a serenade
to shorter days

the sun obscured
a wintry day
the willow weeps

within the somber silence
the black and white of things
darkness gestates spring

merest crack of blue
in a grey sky
as wide as the world
