Winter in May
Yesterday, winter in May
Clad in a cloud
Thick cloak swirled and settled, grey
Leaching the bright, the light
To monochrome
Altogether apt
Malaise is on the prowl
Ill-defined but surely ominous
Padding in circles
The polar bear is caged
Hard to recall the blue of a pool
Summer’s first dip
Raptors wheeling in pairs
And roses suddenly rampant
Colour and scent sublime
Depression squats on the valley
All the way to Spain
Leaching the bright, the light
To monochrome

You capture the emotional and visual pendulum well Sally. So true and what seems to be happening on a daily basis. The thick coat was cast off here at lunch time and transformed my mood and motivation. Hope colour returns soon. xxx
