It's gray

it's cloudy

it's cool

it's damp

it's Sunday.

it's the perfect day

to snuggle inside

to have hot chocolate

to read a book

to watch an old movie

to take a nap.

in California they don't get

many days like this

in Hawaii

they don't know the joy

of the permission

that gray gives

to relax

settle in

do nothing

just be.
