A Cloudy Sunday Morning

December 18, 2011

The week began in clouded splendor,
With black asphalt glistening in dawns light,
The sun peeked out from charcoal grandeur,
The week began in clouded splendor,
To a change in plans I surrender,
As I watch, raindrops reflect beauty’s might,
The week began in clouded splendor,
With black asphalt glistening in dawns light.
