Elements

Grey dominates any thought of blue skies 
The sun can’t burn clouds though it tries
Winter sets itself down on all that moves
The result of loneliness, that’s what that proves

Summer and spring used to be a friend
Its laugher would heal, and enemy’s upend
Night and day reason as why they work well
Something so common, speaking they tell

Chattering sounds as night makes her appearance 
She doesn’t dwell in the day, causing interference 
Yet the darkness makes us wonder “why me?”
The night of changes, the falling of a tree

An orange glow, as the sun starts slowly sinking
With regret I look, my thoughts so intriguing 
Dusk stays only for a moment, yet it’s always there
To a mind that’s lost, you’re probably not aware

Water comes in many forms, and in many ways
Snow, rain, dew, hail, mist, humbling displays 
We only understand once the ending approaches 
How the wetness invades, distant thought encroaches 

The elements change so often, unbeknownst, quickly 
Some things won’t change, my despair brought on strictly
By a day that never ended, not what I wanted
Those elements gathered, for me they hunted
