Dark Skies

Shadow Soul

August first brings focus to the solitude imposed.

My phone contains a cornucopia of contacts saturated in their lives without the time to pay mine more than a line of text response, if any.

I take a break from work to step outside, where I have always felt welcomed and loved.

As I drink in the lush greens and forboding greys, I mentally run my mind down the list of things I’m processing to make others feel special.

When a pinch of realization adds to the already overcast weight upon me, it’s been a minute since I’ve been on the receiving end of that ordeal.

Typically, it is of little matter to me, but today, it compounds a hypersensitive feeling of low value.

We all have our rainy days. So I look to the sky for clearing as I listen to the birds serenade.

A song to lift any soul in need.
