Splash of Color

It's been grey, drab
all day dreary
no blue sky
or sunshiney ray
Thoughts turn inward
casting a reflection
on the saddess of life
when foresaken by a friend
or a family member dies
Oh! where is the lightness,
the brightness to lift
one's spirit ?
To laugh with abandon and
carefree merriment
Then 4:10. Out the study room
window I see the setting sun
Brilliant. Beautiful. Domed between
the bland skyline and tops of trees
Reddish orange like the luscious lustre
of a vine ripened tomato
and I smile at the
splash of color added
to this colorless day.
