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

ReplyDeleteThank you for reading Susan!
DeleteLove this! I miss the sun so deeply when it is hidden for days. The sunshine changes everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy!
DeleteI love when the rain leaves too and am so not a fan of the cold, nasty weather either. So I loved reading this Audrey!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janine! I am glad you liked it!
DeleteThe sun will do that, when it reappears after all the gray. I especially admire "love opened its doors wide and I stepped inside". Yay!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry!

DeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara!
DeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteRain is good, but the sun returning does refresh (but you said it WAY more beautifully and poetically, of course.)
