June Gloom

Just to provoke a little smile The sun went into hiding In the last month of spring Had given much of its sun rays Through the month of May. Had heard so much complaint And wondered why go through so much pain? “Can't they see how pretty the flowers bloom Just because I can shine through? Can’t they hear the birds sing out loud Because I beat the cold to a smoke out? Can’t anyone smell the fragrance of blooming trees? There’s so much good I give, can’t they see?” The sun felt depressed and sad It didn’t like feeling so bad “One day, I am begged to come out And when I do, I am wanted out.” So the sun went into hiding And none of its rays could be seen. The clouds moved in silently Spread throughout the sky evenly Turning its days to fearsome gloom It was the Month of June. As if to make a point, the clouds went to war Rain fell, lightning stuck, thunder roared. After many days of clashing wails The people bowed and prayed Wondered why they had so complained And pledged to never do it again. And the sun was moved to come out Smiling, it extended its power throughout. By CarolineCécile Copyright © 06.30.10.
