Lightning Strikes

Dreary rainy days
     droplets fall to earth 
Grey sky above
    on Earth we reach for sustenance
  No sunlight to brighten 
our days
   As the clock continues to 
mark the passing hours
  We pray that that the sun will
   once again appear in the sky 
Tomorrow - there is always tomorrow 
   Our songs have not yet 
All been sung

I enjoyed reading your wonderful poetry this morning Matthew. It has been awhile since I have been reading and commenting. So going to make it short this time with a promise to try and read more often after the holidays. Have a wonderful weekend and may it be full of love and joy. Love, Carol
