The sun inched out today after five days of rain
bursting light everywhere
even underneath
and I felt my mood lighten
and joy crept in where tears had furrowed their rows earlier
and love opened its doors wide
and I stepped inside

  4. I love when the rain leaves too and am so not a fan of the cold, nasty weather either. So I loved reading this Audrey!!

  5. The sun will do that, when it reappears after all the gray. I especially admire "love opened its doors wide and I stepped inside". Yay!

  9. Oh I can so relate to this. I'm a basket case after 2 days of rain, I can't imagine 5! You described the effect the sun has perfectly.

  10. Sweet!

    Rain is good, but the sun returning does refresh (but you said it WAY more beautifully and poetically, of course.)
