Tears of the Sun

One might possibly never think
that the sun would ever thus sink
into its own great, grand reflection
that to the low of a great depression

Although by twilight’s deep wide gloaming
though the sun seems nowhere roaming
in the still of this caliginous night
it remains there, caught in moonlight

And when one is without the day
as clouds cast over the sky in gray
and in those still and quiet overtones
just know the sun is only postponed…

For when silently the day comes alive
and raindrops might slip through the sky
amid the shadows of heavy clouds’ sighs
know that God in Heaven also cries…

Yet then in the shine of raindrop sent
a magical moment is thus spent
to see the rainbow’s sheen on high
a promise kept in the sun’s blue skies.

A true sun gem, dear SUNSHINE Karilea! A joy to read. I am happy that you shared it again for those who were not "around" yet when you first posted it.
Wonderful!

Can only agree with all of the above!
There is ....hope....resolve within this rainbow.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Every aspect is beautiful in it's own way Karilea.
The finale with the rainbow is a nice touch.
Gentle moving write.

my oh my, this was absolutely beautiful
and this I hold near and dear...

And when one is without the day
as clouds cast over the sky in gray
and in those still and quiet overtones
just know the sun is only postponed…

wonderful write dear lady...

This poem reminds me of what I call my "silver lining" moments.  I learned that is so easy to see the worst in things but quite a different story to find the best.
