Cool gray days
With cool gray rains
And cool gray trees
Along cool gray lanes
With cool gray puddles
Where gentle rain drops land
In overlapping circles
That gradually expand
L:ike chords in cool gray music
From a really cool gray band

With earthy scents arising
From saturated grounds,
Persistent, cool gray dampness
Body and mind surrounds
Like a cloak upon your shoulders
With satin for a backing
A kind of satisfaction,
A comfort when you're walking

And the dampness softly wraps you
In a cool gray cocoon,
Like a cozy private room
Where you sleep 'til afternoon,
And when you wake anew
The gray cocoon is gone
And you spread your brilliant wings
In a bright, warm, yellow sun.
