Mostly Clear Skies

Mostly clear skies
That's what
the weatherman said
Too bad there's cloudy weather
hanging around my head

Temperatures in the mid 60 degrees
Hot or cold it doesn't please me
A sunny day seems far away
atmospheric pressure
holds me down today

Longest day of the year is here
Long for more reasons than
the summer solstice I fear
Summer sun but I feel numb
Lots of reasons make me glum

Mostly clear skies
hover on the horizon
looking forward
to their eventual arrival
If I am able
to have it my way
My hazy gray
ends today

A Little Melancholy

I'm a little melancholy today
Can't find my happy place
Too much to do in
too little time
Just want some saving grace.

I'm a little melancholy today
These thoughts won't leave my mind
Inner fears projected way too clear
I'm sure they'll go away in time

I'm a little melancholy today
Can't escape what's looming near
So much to do in
so little time
I need to escape from here

I'm a little melancholy today
Mean reds or basic blue
This too shall pass
But for now alas
I'm melancholy
 that's all that's true
