I dress in Gray

During the wet dreary months.

Because it does not show the dog hair, as much.

And it matches the weather

And my mood.

When the weather changes

I bring out the colors.

Gray weather.

Windows that only reflect back gray

Gray is why I can’t move

To Oregon or Washington

Although California seems to have

Switched weather with them.

Gray is why I can’t move

Even around my own home.

Gray is why I have trouble getting much done.

When the sun comes out,

I celebrate and also go out

Welcoming the change in the light.

And bring out the colors
