Sometimes It Rains On a Clear Sunny Day

At stroke of the dawn as the sun is rising
Birds are chirping to awaken the morning
From the trees that sway in gentle breeze 
Breeze that whispers melodic greetings

Greetings that convey comforting feelings
Taking a slow walk with musings alluring
Humming the tune of romantic lyrics
Lyrics that mesmerize a beautiful dream

A dream that allures and keeps her waiting
Embracing falsity when truth is illusive
Ignoring a warning that he's just a fantasy
A fantasy that culminates in futile reality

A futile reality she must now contemplate
Between real and illusive she now hesitates 
Not ever taking the blue-sky for granted
For sometimes it rains on a clear sunny day

Treading on the paths of fantasy, bypassing reality, fills only a momentary void. Best to keep our feet on the ground! Regards // paul

yes, it happens all the time, Rain when we least expect it in our lives. So we can take nothing for granted. Great poem with imagery and metaphor! I like how the last line of each stanza was related to the first line of the next stanza.

Sometimes we are so vulnerable that we choose fantasy over reality. Fragile beings that we are, we have a difficult time when the rain comes unexpectedly shading our sun, I love your humanistic poems Vij, thank you for sharing, and being here...
