Smoky grey cotton wool clouds hang down As if teasing and tugging at the skies above With mere hints of pale blue in the distance Perhaps the sun may have some persistence There is also a suggestion of some resistance As a chill of the autumn morning is enough And the day demands a return of its crown
The day appears to be like some silent duel Yet the grim clouds hang on as if in despair As the breezes blow it looks like they cower A suggested prospect of a reluctant shower The obscured sun attempting not to glower But then it senses a subtle change in the air As bright sunshine will be its precious jewel
