Searching For the Sun

Raindrops fell in a periodic, solemn way On this gloomy, foggy, gray stricken day I searched for the sun, all day long Just to find a melody for life’s song But, the sun kept hiding and I did not find All the warmth I needed to finally, unwind Rain on and off couldn’t make up its mind Reflecting the way I am, when I’m in a bind Yes, I searched for the sun, all day today Not wanting to wallow in any kind of dismay But, here I am counting raindrops… As if answers will suddenly splash In front of a magnify glass on my eyelash To amplify, clarify, what it is I long for to smile These gloomy days feel like a long traveled mile And at the end, there is no turning back to run Only steps forward, still searching for the sun Heidi Sands 4/29/21

“Searching for the sun” what a beautiful write. It makes incredible sense to this Sun-lover.

This was written so realistically, yet still that ray of hope is there, wriggling its way up to the surface of your verses. Well-penned, indeed! :) gw

Thank you for light wishes, the sun shines on and on in desert climes. I like a cool cloudy day once in awhile. -Richard

I think we all have found ourselves searching for the sun. I feel the loneliness, but there is hope of finding a melody for life's song. I feel it Heidi, good write.

I *love* everything about the rain, but when days are lonely, perhaps a little blue- search for some sunshine, you most certainly do. Even if for a moment. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. Hugs, Brandy

It is raining here today but I welcome the change. It has been rather warm the last few days and my trees love the rain. I hope you find that warmth you are searching for, Heidi. A pleasure to read you today.

Hi DT. I see. I don't always mind the rain. Today was a bit much with the lingering cold into Spring. Good thing your trees are happy. Thank you for your kind comment. I am also happy to see your other response earlier with how well you are doing! Congrats! Nice to see you my friend :)
