An Old Friend Reborn

Orange sherbet-streaked heavens
   at my window this morn
herald an old friend's return
   ~ newly reborn

For while the sun 
   in the sky has been
all this while, to my 
   uninformed eye
slate-gray clouds
   made me cry...

Tears and clouds
   disperse suddenly
Now's returned
      My love 
for this sweet world
      as it turns

Lindsay Laurie Date: 2/4/2020 5:43:00 PM Hello Gershon … when the weather is dreary for some time we become dreary too. I can recall a time when it hadn't rained for three months, and when it finally did, standing in it with a great sense of relief - thanks Gershon - Lindsay Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/4/2020 6:40:00 PM Wow! I can imagine the relief after a drought for three months... ~ Gershon

Paula Goldsmith Date: 2/4/2020 10:08:00 AM A beautiful sky with its many colors. Many do not look up and miss it. What a gift it is to us. Enjoy your day........ Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/4/2020 6:40:00 PM Yes! Important to remember to look up (and around too). Thanks, Paula. :) Gershon

Chris Green Date: 2/3/2020 12:42:00 PM Seems I am not the only one who witnesses beautiful sunrises from time to time, but you express it so much more beautifully than I ever could. Loved this one my friend. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/3/2020 6:58:00 PM What you wrote about me is precisely how I feel about you and your poems. We must be trapped in a House of Mirrors!
