Even with clouds

~

The sun was still there

when the clouds went away

The sky was quite blue

not a sad shade of gray

The warmth came to be

as the chill disappeared

And now it seems funny

the things that I feared

~

My mood like a cloud

it had rained on my smile

I was sure this would be

a bad day for a while

I moped and I pouted

just staying inside

It seem much too easy

to sit in and hide

~

But now I feel stupid

I wasted away

A perfectly wonderful

nice summer day

For now I can see

that it could have been fun

For even with clouds

there is always a sun

~

The shift in perspective from a gloomy mindset to a realization of the beauty and positivity that was present all along. The importance of seizing the moment and finding the silver lining, even when things don't seem perfect at first glance.

Thank you so much. I believe it is important to smile, even when frowns are forcing themselves on us.

As the old saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. What commences badly may turn around completely before the day is done. Of course, with this plague of heat the country is enduring, a few clouds might not be such a bad start after all.

Thanks John and yes, a few clouds wouldn't be a bad thing right now

[Lydia Shutter]

What an uplifting poem this is! Will, I am in awe of the rhythm and rhyme of your poetry. So lyrical and flowing so easily. Just a joy to read. Lydi***

Thanks so much Lydi. I am glad you liked this

Make it what you will. Where I live it's all sun and no rain. Smiling on a rainy day isn't so bad. Nice job.

[willweb]

That makes two of us...I'll dance in the rain right now if I ever see any. : ) Thanks so much

absolutely without the sun we would have no point of reference for those clouds be they external or internal; today or yesterday. Don't know if I believe every could has a silver lining, but "even with clouds there is always a sun" Well said thanks for the post -carl

Thank you so much friend

[DIVYA]

I relate deeply as I too face these weather problems often. My clouds are unpredictable and can darken my inner day at any given point. This is a poem brilliant in its analogy. You did wonders here, my friend.

[willweb]

Thanks so much Divya. Hope it helps chase some of those dark clouds away and brings your smile shining through

Very true Will. The clouds and rain may disappoint, but only we can ruin our day, or choose to enjoy it in spite of the weather.
The experts tell us the same thing here. I choose to believe them, despite still waiting for them to correctly predict a day when it doesn't rain.
You would think the law of averages would let them get it right once, but here we are 12062 days and counting 😊

[willweb]

Funny, it sure feels like we are at the same count here without rain. : ) Thanks my friend. Looks like we both need to share a bit of our weather with each other.

I liked the "heart" in this one... well spoken.

[willweb]

Thanks Chris

[Ken Simm.]

Love that last line. And actually I love the lead to it. In fact I love this gossamer poem.

[willweb]

Thanks my friend. Just hoping for a few smiles.

like everything else in life Will clouds come and go ... everything passes eventually and the sun shines again ( well hopefully )

[willweb]

Yep, I hope so too. One (sunny) day at a time. : ) Thanks so much Stella.
