By The SeaStrange Interlude
*

Bright and sunny was the day,
Not a cloud in the sky;
Feathered friends were entertaining
Every pleasant passerby.

Slowly from the silent sea
It drifted eerily to land;
Consuming all that lay before,
A stifling greyness filled each void.

Tender warmth leaked from the air,
Imbibed by thirsty thickening fog;
The erstwhile genial tenor gone,
Retreated from the alien fiend.

Now, there is calm and foe has fled
From brother sun’s redeeming rays;
Refreshing birdsong fills the air,
While laughter echoes everywhere!
