Behind the Clouds

Behind the clouds

And when the clouds had finally cleared,
I saw you shining there in all your glory,

I had doubted you,
As I have so often doubted love,

But you had been there all along,
Shining out of sight,

A million stars
lighting up the darkest
of nights.

And in the morning light,

The storm,
Finally passed,

Your flowers opened,

And the smell of perfume,
Filled the summer air.
