I look up to the sky
I see the smiling sun
Just standing there up high
To say the day begun
It brightens up your life
It livens up your day
It rids you of your strife
In every possible way
I then look up again
I see the grayish clouds
Lashing out all their pain
People run into shrouds
They hide from all the tears
Drenching their precious land
All the pain of these years
That no one can withstand
The clouds are just like me
Drowning in a pot of grief
Yet the clouds are always free
Where their pain is only brief
Unlike me in several ways
I’m always captured here
I never saw those rays
I’m always tied up by fear
I look up one more time
I see the glowing moon
Glorious up until prime
With stars around all strewn
Though the moon is full and bright
The sky is still so dark
The moon can’t shed some light
To cause the sky to spark
Yet my gaze falls on something
That’s glinting far away
With my heart constantly thumping
I keep my vision that way
I focus on the gleaming object
Till I finally realize
This is a ray of sunlight
The sun is on the rise.
Very nice use of the weather elements to conjure up some beautiful imagery.
Thank you!
