Even though lately you’ve been looking at storm clouds
I need to share with you a statement out loud
Reminding you there’s more than silver linings
That glimmer is the sun that’s back there shining
The raindrops you’ve been focused on
Make way for blooms and birdsong
Let me share
They’ve been there
All along
Mariposa breezes gently blowing
Swirl aside your gloomy gloaming
And let me spread a smile with you
Set alight a laugh or two
Remind you of the good and cheer
The bright, the light, the sight of cheer
When you put aside the clouds a while
When you shout aloud the good a while
Accentuate the positive
And see the right and good to give
That glimmer is the sun that’s shining
Reflecting off a silver lining
This is beautiful
Thank you, dolcevita! I’m open to help with the meter and fixing the rhymes so the message can be better shared…
Love the positivity and hope this piece exudes! Beautiful rhythm and beautiful poem!
Thank you, tammibelko!
I like the mention that rain is necessary too and maybe could be emphasized more; rain can be quite lovely.
But that final couplet is just absolutely beautiful
Thank you! I can work on “more rain”
