overcast with feeling

anaesthetized thoughts...clouded emotions



a gray day
a gray thought
an overcast feeling...

someone hurt
someone cries out for help
today
i hear them...

i do not cry for help today
for i have wiped tears
on other occasions
with other feelings
with other thoughts
with other gray areas
in the grayness of other afternoons
unlike this one...

the grayness around this afternoon
sees my smile
hides from my happiness
and feels no comfort
in the calmness i feel
now
at this time
this moment
this day
gray
in thought
overcast with feeling.

Such overcast emotions can only keep looking for the sun. The melancholy words sink deep within the reasons for gray.

Where there are gray feelings you just need to nudge you feeling just a little to see that rainbow . . .

Gray skies, gray days, gray hearts.
Although sad, it is an honest picture of a down day.
Thanks
Best regards,
Chris

Overcast with feelings, only those that had suffered the lost of many near his heart can understand as they brush away the easy comfort coming from the ones that never saw a friend dying on a strange land.
Overcast with feelings is a right one have.
Excellent!
