Sorrow

Thunder clapping winds at high speeds Lightning zigzags across the sky Bursting the water bubble The rain pummels down On my uncovered head Soaking me but unable To drown my sorrows I stand like a deer Caught in the headlights Unable to move Salty tears blending with rain Wanting my heart to be Cleansed from the pain keeping me prisoner I stand vigil next to The peonies at the cemetery Where my daughter laid It happened so quickly No goodbyes were said Dark clouds begin to part as The sun shows it's face And a rainbow spanned across the sky I whispered "I love you" as I wend my way through The cemetery With no beginning or ending the rainbow appears on a dreary day Colorful and bright I too, must seek the light on my most forlorn days And allow myself sorrow So my soul can be evened out
