Gray days and melancholy go together very well.
When November comes (and the weather here is like November right now...),
I always remember a few bits and rhymes of French poems.
Some of their poets knew how to wrap words around a gray day...
lamenting and depressing,
with a small flicker of hope,
but you could never be sure if that tiniest of sparks
would make it to the end of the poem,
or if...
it would be snuffed out
by the bleakness and the gray of the day.

I remember walking through Les Tuilleries in Paris
on such a November day
thinking of that kind of poetry
and how depressing it was.


Depression and melancholy....
And gray days
make for heartbreaking poems.

I warm home,
a lovely child
to care for and play with
warm up the heart and blow the blues away.


Thank goodness, I'm not in Les Tuilleries anymore....

up here in God's Country (God Forsaken!), the dreary grey skies of autumn are offset in ND by the treez changing leaves, the green grass growing brown and brown and brown, until there is just not any one brown color remaining, and the grain feilds are cut and once again dark rich black soil is exposed to remind one of the promise of new life beginning next springtime planting season. it all adds up to a vibrant and eclectic mix of nature dying that for me ignites my soul with the beauty and promise of another chance at life...fall, though it surely can be lonely and melancholy, is my favorite time of year, for the death of nature this way also brings with it the joy of knowing of yet more renewal!

and some of us are in a melancholy place regardless of the seasons about us....even when we had a brief taste of hope...it too blew away...and the spark of hope flitters ever so quitely.....

so enjoy what you have...for yourself and for those of us who can't....

Oh, I know.... I've spent many years in "Les Tuilleries"..... so to speak.

I'm so glad I don't have to be there anymore....

And I do think sometimes of how terrible it was, and how lucky I am for having escaped. Not everybody is so lucky....


WSOR...

Indeed, I'm thankful every day....
