she is tired today
she is gray
she is cloudy and damp
she is moody
she is mourning
her lover is leaving
he was warm
hot
fierce
passionate
welcoming
a river in the sunlight
a wisp of a cloud
on a baby blue day
he is all she can
think about
goodbye, my love
she is sad
she is cold
she is brisk and sharp
but look, I tell her
look
another has come
to comfort you
an artist
a gentle hug
just around the corner
he is waiting
patiently
until she calls him over
he is slow at first
then all at once
gentle
but here
he shows her how to paint
the leaves
the sky
how to brush pink
across noses and cheeks
and soon they will settle
and the world will go on
she is calm today
she is oh so royal
elegant and breezy
cool and collected
and how happy she must be
