Gloom

The sky is dull and full of clouds a sign of pending rain. However it never comes, but the gloom hangs over you on these very grey days with no hint of joy and laughter that comes with the sun. The overwhelming feeling of tiredness sweeps over you within the gloom. You fight to stay awake fearing you will not sleep at night. Slowly it captures you to rest. Lying down for a few minutes turns into hours. Finally you awake in darkness wondering where the day has gone. Then you realize just what you’ve done. You’ve slept through the waking hours in dreamland a million miles away where the sun always shines. You are now wide awake hoping when you go to bed you will enjoy a goodnight sleep. That when you wake up in the morning the sun will have wakened its sleepy head. With that in mind you smile catching up on things you meant to do. 4 April 2015
