Perception

I thought I heard you calling in the rain from afar What do you need on this gray day without a star? The fog is lifting, revealing a crystal light If you look in the sky, you may also see the sight Perception can change, quick as lightening to ground Blink your eyes, look again, to see what you have found I thought I heard you calling, beyond the pounding rain Let it be a washout for that lingering pain Perception can change just about anything Without losing the moment to things that sting And this my friend, allows us to sing!

Heidi, The winds brought a voice to the stormy day.. 'Blink your eyes, look again, to see what you have found'. How sweet the song in this poem. -Richard

Thank you Richard. Today, branches are falling from the rain and saturated trees. But thankfully not windy at the same time for now. I appreciate your kind visit to this poem :)

Heidi, I love your positive outlook and the hope-infused words of your poem. One can perceive that rain ruins our plans for the day, or that it grows the flowers of tomorrow. Beautifully stated, congrats for your deserving POTD ~ John
