I saw the sun today
It was just for a moment
But I was drowning in a sea of gray

Then right above the place where I stood
The clouds and gloom blew away
As though to say to me
It wouldn't always
be this way

The sun shined on me today
For a moment
Through the clouds
And through the gray

And it was enough

I saw the sun shine
Felt it's warmth through the rain
And even as it fell on me
I knew
I just knew

That I would be okay

Isn't it wonderful when we're given these little beams of hope? Wishing you that continued assurance! Loved this!

I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOVE this poem, Aenea! It makes me very happy (and inspires me so much) that you see things this way. I am sorry that your heart was sad, but happy that you could not just see, but FIND a ray of hope and much determination to be OK.

Your excellent poem reminds me of a poem I wrote - which was, unlike yours, horrendously bad as regards art - where I found a patch of sunlight on a blue carpet. As bad as that poem of mine is (and as much as I cringe for its clumsiness when I read it), I sometimes read it for the content.

May you continue to be OK, and far more OK, as I know you will.

Hugs
