Revelation

As gray clouds disperse to sunshine there is revelation
Piecing together things from the then and now
Lessons learned with changes bring me such elation
Combined with the ongoing strength to survive somehow

Piecing together things from the then and now
New light is shed on so many things misunderstood
Combined with the ongoing strength to survive somehow
I will not look back in time and think, ‘I should’

New light is shed on so many things misunderstood
Lessons learned with changes bring me such elation
I will not look back in time and think, ‘I should’
As gray clouds disperse to sunshine there is revelation

I've only recently discovered the Pantoum form, but this is a great example. Well-written, with a "punchy" conclusion. Nice work! Regards, John.

It wasn't long ago that I found this form too and practiced a few. As they can be challenging. Thank you John :)

A nice pantoum Heidi. These are difficult to get to read as smoothly as this one does. Nice job! - Dean
