Gloomy Day

 



There is a slowness to the day 

Murky clouds have taken over the sky

Rain drizzled a bit like a teaser 

Two woodpeckers climbed a papaya tree

Sounded back to me in their voice 

When I made a squeaky bird noise 

They left emptyhanded as papaya was unripe

My wait for the new project was extended 

Frustrating the peace of mind 

I would rather be working than sitting idle

Tears and smile







Tears is a veil that covers the smile,

Until it dries out in tandem with time.

Smile emerges from anxious shadows,

Like the shiny sun after a heavy rainfall.

Tears is a nod in the cycle of happiness.

Every drop of tears pray for redemption,

Every smile pray for its own longevity.

Tears and smile swap places at will,

Anywhere, when least expected.

Life without them is just robotic!
