Millpond Poetry
In My Sky
It rained all day today, overcast and gloomy.
It’s hard for the heart not to succumb,
take on the gray, emotions darkened
especially when the forecast is the same for tomorrow.
Still, if I close my eyes what a lovely vision I can see,
where my beloved and her pleasing smile is ever before me,
a place where clouds do not gather but the rain still falls.
Far beyond the reality of what I see if I opened them.
Oh, heart rejoice for the sunshine that comes from within!
A joy that has nothing to do with the rising of the sun,
a place where weeds are all flowers because they are welcomed.
Indeed, the clouds have no place in my sky.
