cloudy mornings offer comfort
cosy like a shawl in winter
while the regal swans are swimming
gone the minutes i grow colder
let me wander where I want to
freedom is a precious gift
away from all the ties of living
here I breathe in fresh air crispness
drear the rippled surface misty
ghosts come calling drifting nearer
veils like trails that swirl and sashay
out they are to spook my day
leave me be i am not ready
mellow autumn yellow ochres
round the margins sit a necklace
on the edge of calm grey waters
little boats of many colours
fallen leaves from weary trees

It feels a little haunting yet calming when walking on a cloudy morning. Freedom is a precious gift, to often taken for granted, a lovely calming write
