Expecting the Sun

Another grey sky,
so far.
Still expecting
the sun will make 
an appearance.
It always does,
eventually.
Knowing it’s there,
behind the grey,
helps
and so does 
the memory
of yesterday’s
bright sky.

I love this one! Some gray days, I have to feel the Sun inside just to get by, but I love the reminder that the sun is behind the clouds!

I am experiencing the same gray dismal day here and I want to thank you for sharing this and reminding me that the sun is still shining behind these clouds, which up until now I couldn't bring myself to see. Nicely done
