lay me down to heal
till this crippling gray stills –
a regard for spring
sparks first tweet from window sills
no more will this sting endure

For Tanka Tuesday over at Colleens where the prompt is synonyms to Imagine & Regard. I used Spark & Regard.
Very beautifully versed. A great picture too.

Healing is well over due. Though some may want to rush into a crowded room just because they miss the atmosphere. I try to see the grey under of clouds as silver linings… May we all add our little bits of healing to a greater HEALING.
