Dark skys

The rainbow that was in my sight has faded with the west winds embrace
As clouds upon clouds upon dark seated clouds come racing into the sky
The wind that was gently rustling the trees now gusts with each passing breath
Making chimneys squeal with a high pitched note, and take tree limbs down to their death.
The sun that had warmed my heart and my brow, till the sweat had come trickling down
Now hiding behind clouds, not to my delight, but to my distaste and I frown.

And so here I am, with a chill on my back and my brow is furrowed and frowzled
I have sunk to my knees, and my hands praying please, though to whom I should pray I am puzzled
My mind is a blank, my poor eyes are so red, as they line the floor with my tears.
But my child comes close, and I realise morosely, that time will again turn the years.
And the sun that now hides will come out to play, the clouds and the winds will've departed
And the joy that now fades with the last rays of sun, will surge into my heart, when it is won.
