Dark clouds fill the sky
while cold air crashes
against upturned collars,
a light drizzle falls
upon lonely streets.
A bowed head rises
to meet the gray
and lonely world,
a tired sigh
of wandering smoke
lingers in the empty air.
A passing cloud pauses
for only a moment,
a ray of sunlight pierces
the neglected sky,
a heavy heart lifts
in grateful reply.
