and when the sun shines,

I forget all about the rain

all about the pain
all the dark clouds
and shadows

all the light and lightning
the thunder
roaring growling crashing clashing

When the clouds part
the clear sky poking through
invading
reclaiming that which was rightly its own


but when the sun shines,
its luminous intensity
its radiance its warmth

 brings to me a new sense of me
my life my own my sparkle shine and comfort.

when the new and improved
and free and fresh come together,

when the sun shines
I forget all about the rain
