Old Friend

 

How nice to see you again, old friend…

you stayed away too long this time;

but I knew you would soon return to

 brighten my mood…vague discontent,

festering silently until I acquiesced to

its gloom, waiting to be rescued,

knowing you would not fail to mock

 the dark, cold days of winter with your

  cheery rays and comforting warmth,

while chasing gray nimbostratus

and my melancholy sadness away.
