Melancholy Moment
Today the river moves
Cold air blows
Birds huddle together
For warmth
Leaves dance in the wind
But do not fall
Sky a dull grey
Clouds pregnant with storm
Seems almost like winter
Yet not really
Perhaps just a moment
Of temporary gloom
In the midst
Of a larger spring
Hinted by
The blooming honeysuckle
