Sunny Clouds

The rain's come down inside your soul. Months at a time and take their toll. It seems the end is coming soon. And then the angels change the tune. The fog is thick, you can't see far. You've spent your wish upon that star. The avenue is dry and clear. But you don't know which way to steer. The best that we can do sometimes. Is just sit down and write some rhymes. While others do the work of God. And try to help you not feel odd. Someday's the world is bright and fair. Other days, you sit and stare. Beyond the hope of ever finding. A glimpse of future that needs reminding. Within the moment of despair. Somehow the sun shines through the air. And brings a light you thought was gone. To help you meet another dawn. Note: This is about how in the midst of my life seemingly feeling like it was a total mess and I was feeling like I was just a mental case now. Somehow I knew that angels, (nurse's and doctors) were there to help me get back to a life where I could see the light and feel once again, hope. <3

This poem made me go outside, the poem had alot of description and that formed a picture in my mind. Nice one!

Inspirational and uplifting poem Leslie, I know many turn to poetry as a form of therapy or at a bad time in their life... i wrote my first poem since childhood when my hubby was undergoing cancer surgery and its got me through the toughest 5 years of my life:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you Jan. That is so true. I wrote a line once: I knew a man who thought he was pathetic. Left alone with his thoughts, became quite prophetic. That's what we do here on soup. We share our thoughts. :) <3
