The Sky Became Dry

There it is the water has stopped
the sky has became dry
clouds have taken a step back
as the birds wings outstretched do fly

As with the rainfalls of life
one is lifted when rain does cease
our spirits rise to greater height
then our hearts find a inner peace

Our eyes see the skies turn blue
as one's life finds greater hope
looking to the future beyond
unknown perhaps as climbing a slope

Perseverance is the turning key
put it in and turn it round
the door will slowly edge open
what you see is what you've found

So now looking back on the past
all that's you see is behind you
go forward now towards the sun
seeing its brightness as you do

(Based on the following quote
"When the rain stops" )
