I can still see the sunrise

Love provides the light

 

 

I can still see the sunrise

 

 

The clouds they have been forming in the skies above my head

Massive plumes of charcoal gray create a sky of dread

The winds of constant blowing find their speed it does increase

As leaves upon the sycamore now bring on their release

 

Tiny drops of moisture from the skies begins to fall

Misty moments laughing as the storms now lash their call

Puddles on the arid earth do swell beneath my feet

If only spring would send her love and bring me some relief

 

Lightening bolts and thunder come a knocking at my door

Streams now flow the sidewalks as they never have before

Glistening the pavement as I head off down the road

Challenging the weather as it brings its heavy load

 

Windshield wipers dance about the glass to keep it clear

Streaks of every wanting in the wishes you are near

Splashing sings the rhythm of my tires passing by

Just to hear the tear drops that heavens seem to cry

 

A tiny ship at sea I feel, so lost and all alone

Then marvel at the drenching rain that nature she has shown

When in my mind now shifting as if waves have set it right

I dream about your beauty as my eyes they see the light

 

For in my beating heart there lies a fire’s raging flame

As miracles begin to show each time I speak your name

And here amongst the torrent of the waters from the skies

I find that when it’s raining I can still see the sunrise

 

There, on the horizon like a beacon from below

A reddish amber morning light again begins to show

Now how can this be happening with skies so very dark

It’s now I come to realize the light comes from your heart

 

For when in love the world may rain for oh so many days

But still the perfect sunrise seems to break out through the haze

And as I drive through thunderstorms my eyes still see the view

Of everything you bring to me because our love is true

I sit there reading this very early in the morning and it's raining out, how apropos, my mood matching the weather. After reading your lovely poetry, it has lightened my spirit and given my heart a smile. An inspiring read Jack, always love in your heart.

Frieda, happy it made you smile and I hope the sun peeks through the clouds and smiles along with you today.

So nice the way you transitioned from the force of nature to the force of love. They both are similar in their abilities to nurture and to destroy. All of us have been storm tossed. Again. I am always impressed by your use of color in your work. Well done.

Wonderful construction. I felt like I was drifting on high seas through the middle of a strom. But through it all I had no fear, love was guiding me home. Fabulous write.
