S.A.D.

The late May sky seems to
illustrate my life so well.
The early morning breaks with
brighter-than-life sunshine
and my spirits are uplifted
at the clean slate of day.

Then as memories and regrets
come to cloud my once clear thought,
dark skies emerge, soon breaking
into crystal drops of rain -
that lash my face and force
tears to form in my eyes.

I long for the stillness of a June night,
where light can appear to last forever.
