Even When the Sun is Gone somewhere, there are gray skies leaden down with rain but I know that the sun is around and it will peek out once again somewhere, there are clouds of white rushing through on high and a little bit of sunshine peeks down from the sky somewhere, buildings will cast shadows on the crowd below but a simple ray of sunshine lifts their spirits so somewhere, one is in a room replete with no windows, shades are drawn where one feels so incomplete their only hope, the coming dawn just know, even if the sun doesn't seem to be casting down its lighted beams the sun can still be there with you in what you think, in what you do if you are one, who lives without the sun for a day, or two, just know in your heart that words can act like beaming rays with good reading the shadows depart so find joy in your write, and all that you are find special ways to impart it, like shining stars Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

"somewhere, buildings will cast" "shadows on the crowds below" "but a simple ray of sunshine" "lifts their spirits so." Sunshine this was simply beautifully written. If buildings are casting shadows somewhere on the crowds below, if you are ever amongst them, they will have their ray of sunshine to lift their spirits and their hopes.:: Garfield |

I thought your poem was beautifully written. the first few lines seems to remind me of something i'm struggling with right now. My heart is leaden down with rain and I know the sun is around the corner and will peek out once again. You write beautifully. keep it up |

Sunshine, you offer hope in your poem, it's just beautiful.I always try to focus on the sun when cloudy days come, and it does work wonders.Sometimes nagativity sips through my poems,but at least I don't keep it inside. Thanks again, for you encouraging message. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

Sunshine, Very uplifting and comforting thoughts here. Wonderful writing. I enjoyed this a lot. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

it is indeed comforting to know that the sun will always be there. . . -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Do you all know how wonderful it was to have been gone almost a full three days...and come home to find this little poem still on page 1? Thank you all....Sun is back....she was shining ALL day long in Kansas....and I have to admit....it was cloudy and gray when I left, fog and cover the entire weekend I was at seminar....but once let loose to come back to my poetry, the clouds lifted and the sun was warming the early, early growth of spring promises.... thank you ALL so very much for enjoying this little poem in my absence... and for your very, very special messages! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
