Sunless Days Poem by Sean Green

Sunless Days

Rating: 5.0


The clouds have their day
to release what's pent within
no longer able to hold the mask
of sunny days meant to last

the halcyon all pursue
a status quo for the abused
idyllic for the quick glimpse
when inquires seek portends

even as the coming storm
gathers round behind the smile
heavy with the unresolved
echoes of the saddest times

soon to drench the frowning crowds
scurrying to answer shelter's prompt
away from those who can't escape
the overcast of sunless days.
