When I Can Feel the Sun

Sometimes, it’s hard to find a way
     to keep on fighting
with all the windows of the world
     no longer lighting
the road ahead in shadowed bend
     and only spiting
any chance I seem to hold on happiness


Sometimes, It’s hard to really say
     what I’ve been thinking
with all the chaos of the world
      forever shrinking
determination with frustration
      only sinking
any chance that I can hold on to my dreams


And then again, sometimes, I find myself
       encouraged
when I can feel the sun and see the life
        it’s nourished 
it’s then, that I can once again 
        let flourish
every thought that what I need will come to me

Hello Mike Gentile, sometimes when we do not feel like ourselves, we seem to linger there for awhile. Slowly getting out of it. We don't think we will but we do. have a nice day my friend. xxx-ooo.
