Gray be gone today <br />That I've no time for your distraction. <br />I know you wait to steal my summer sun <br /> <br /> <br />Don't you have somewhere else to be... <br />Must you overstay your welcome... <br />Lingering far too long. <br /> <br />I have plans, yet finished... <br />Things you cannot help me with, <br />I've little desire to hear your dragging feet <br />behind me... <br /> <br />Gray be gone today <br />Stuff your storm clouds into luggage <br />and leave... <br />Quit wrapping your damp hands <br />around my hunched and hurting body <br />So that I may stand stronger today. <br /> <br />I battle your every entry, <br />Like a soldier, standing guard... <br />That you might try, again, to breach <br />the fortress walls of my well being. <br /> <br />Gray be gone today.... <br />I've sent for back up... <br />The calvary of light hearted daydreams, <br />Streets of sonnets and safe passage <br />An arsenal of attitude and appreciation <br />For what could turn into a day of delight, <br />Should you flag a taxi, and turn right, on red... <br /> <br />Gray be gone today... <br />In my box of crayons, you need reside <br />I can use the black, for necessary rest... <br />And the white, refreshes and purifies... <br />But Gray...oh Gray, you have bedded down here <br />Far far too long... <br />And I have much ahead... <br />You slow my every second to a standstill, <br />And threaten my successful journey. <br />No one invited you in... <br />Gray be gone today<br /><br />Susan Lacovara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gray-be-gone-today/
