A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

“The sky may fall on our heads tomorrow”

Just An Other Dark Day 

Early morning
Dark skies
The wind howling
The rain pours

Snowing?

Just An Other Dark Day 

Lightness surrounding
From the skies to the ground
Happy thoughts, clear mind
Nothing more need I find

On just an other December Day
