Perceived melancholy seemed inevitable

Chill of winter waving hazy grey of sky 
Many resigned to less hectic of activities
Perceived melancholy seemed inevitable
Mentally prepared for 'hibernation' woes

The correlation is tweaked more
towards the impending expectations 
Winter's cold and activities curtailed
Reveals a deathly feeling

How unkind to view such an outcome
Unfairly exhorted by way of colours 
For winter will be bathed in unstained white
Monotony dampened by prolonged inactivity
Guilt feelings heightened by inability 
to counter and to expect better
