Joy in the Rain

Joy in the Rain

 

A dreary day

With skies of grey.

Rain falls in crystal sheets,

Bursting as the ground it greets.

 

Darkness awkwardly covers

As heavy clouds hover.

Suspended half-mast,

The rain pours without lack.

 

A steady fall,

Giving its all.

Thunder here,

Lightning there.

 

A storm in the heart rage

When things have their own way.

When nothing goes right.

When there seems to be no light.

 

Then finally, you look up

And peeping through the clouds is the sun.

The rain from heaven pours

And you enjoy it once more.

 

Though there are days dark,

The clouds will part.

Trust God through the pain

By finding joy in the rain.

I agree dear Melinda.
"Though there are days dark,
The clouds will part.
Trust God through the pain
By finding joy in the rain.
Though there are days dark, The clouds will part. Trust God through the pain By finding joy in the rain."

Your write puts a sad soul on an optimistic mode. I loved your message and using the nature so phenomenally. Very beautifully crafted with nice rhyming.
Thank you for sharing..

Your most welcome x

It's raining right now where I am so I instantly connected with this. I know it's metaphoric and all, it kinda shows the struggle of someone with depression that finally finds hope within the darkness itself. It's really cool, thanks for sharing!

[Melinda McQueen]

Yes, it's metaphoric... but it was raining when I wrote it today. :) Thanks for reading and leaving your review.
