Its Not Empty Its Full

Today I see a rainbow amid a stormy sky, I see the glass as full although is it's not; Joy is present even if tears are behind the eye. It isn't the end of the world if I say bye, Even if I'm scared I will give it my best shot; Today I see a rainbow amid a stormy sky. My wings may be wounded, I know I'll fly, A sad story can be beautiful with a good plot; Joy is present even if tears are behind the eye. Today I have chosen to stop asking why, Bygones are in the past, today may be all I got; Today I see a rainbow amid a stormy sky. It may be challenge but I'll regroup and retry, In rough times I try to remember life lessons taught; Joy is present even if tears are behind the eye. I'll sow seeds of kindness if seems it doesn't apply, And try to good when a I feel like a tiny dot; Joy is present even if tears are behind the eye, Today I see a rainbow amid a stormy sky.

Hi Alexis my friend, a very encouraging write I really your feel your positive attitude from so many thousands of miles away. What else can we do but stay positive, the Ukrainians have shown the world how brave and resilient they are, I together with the whole world applaud them as they fought and reacted to Russian invasion with exemplary strength of character. I love your two repetitive lines at the end of each stanza, very moving.. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Joy and sorrow co exist in life. One who can find a rainbow in a cloudy sky finds joy ! So it is our perspective which is more important ! Enjoyed this highly positive write, Alexis

Rainbows are mist which has seen the light, whereas yesterday is history, so enjoy the light! Aloha!
