When sunny days are fleeting and the rain that must come ..comes, look up cause the sky will surely change and the outlook will not remain the same..optimism, in the waiting, is the soul's chosen gain...
Raindrops fall
Like soft diamonds to the ground
Bursting into a million pieces
As they land
Scattering their brillance
to the surround to glow
As glitter
Or a light dust of shimmer
On a cheek
Not so much like a teardrop as
When it falls and makes
A jagged line down
Its hilly road
But smooth
And shiny, spread all over
Like the mother of all fairies
Took her pixie dust
And released it to the wind
With the promise to change
All around her
To make it SHINE
To glow
So
That when our heads hang low
Our minds may see
The silver lining
Of the dark & dreary
To bask in the glow of a new day.
