Where Is the Sun

This somber morn
My heart weighs heavy
As clouds drift slowly by

As if stood up
Left at the altar
Where is the sun

Jolted
Such gravity
This joyless day

So intrinsically dependent
On the life force fireball
Up in the sky

How will I get through the day
Dare I hope to see the sun tomorrow
O yes, there is always tomorrow

Very evocative of the pall of gloom created by a dreary, sunless day. I also liked the ending, as "there is always tomorrow"! Nice piece! ;)

Thankfully, not every rainy day is depressing and unproductive... it's important to carry some of that sunshine inside us. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and lovely comment, Mahtab.
