If you loved today,
you will love tomorrow,
for tomorrow will be
just like today.

That’s what
the weatherman  said.
Only he did not see
the dark clouds overhead.
He only saw the sunshine.

I wish I had his view.
I wish I had only seen the sunshine,
not the stormy clouds of you.
And so perhaps,
I will not love tomorrow,
as I loved today.

Midnite

The weather man is not always right...and besides, without the storm, the fair time would be blaa.  Great metaphor for feeling here. Much enjoyed!

There's always tomorrow though!
Damn weatherman is never right,
But there are always little pockets
of sun peaking through those dark clouds.
I've seen em myelf!!

Kacy,
Forget the weatherman! What does he know. Now about that storm...really? I hate that.

Kacy, this is very well done!
Love the way you used the weather
in regard to the way you are feeling....
but, just remember....
"The sun will come out tomorrow...."
...and there will be a rainbow
for you to dance upon!
Hugs sweet poetess!

Well done. I wish I could say it is going to be sunny tomorrow, but I somehow doubt it.

Hey, thanks dear friends! LOL, our weatherman misses the target about 50% of the time. I actually wrote this one as it came to me, about 5 minutes after listening to "Sgt Shultz", our local TV weather dude. (Hope he forgives me.)

(smiles) Wow, this reminded me of that 10,000 Maniacs song 'Like The Weather", I know with all my heart that though there will always be storms to nweather, your extended forecast looks sunny and you will again feel this love again and again! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderfully delightful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart
