The Overcast Mind

The sky is overcast

So is the mind

A number of stray thoughts

My mind binds.

This spell is momentary, I know,

The clouds will fly and drift

A shower may feel like a treat.

This dark night would soon be over

The golden rays will be a magical shower,

A rainbow will brighten the sky.

The cool breeze  slowly dispels the clouds

The blue sky my life surrounds.

The sun and clouds play hide and seek

Why should I then remain bleak?

These clouds teach me a lesson

to get rid of deep and dark sessions.
