It is a perfect day

The clouds hang low,

Just low enough it is difficult to see.

It is a perfect day

The air is cold,

Just cold enough to be uncomfortable.

It is a perfect day

There is mist in the air,

Just enough to dampen your clothes.

It is a perfect day

There is a breeze,

Just enough to sharpen the cold.

It is a perfect day

The world needs to stop,

Just long enough to realize what’s happening.

It is a perfect day

The world, however, is content to continue,

Just as it is meant to be.

It is a perfect day
