Rainbows In The Rain

Skies grow dark, and clouds gather,
Winds will howl, leaves will scatter,
Down comes the rain from heaven's grey skies,
lightning strikes earth, and thunder replies..

Lonely souls, with lonely hearts,
Running for cover on the earth far below,
The world slows down as the raindrops fall,
A time for thoughts to wander and go..

The skies may be clouded, dark and grey,
Veiling the sun from shining it's glory,
But glow it still does, where it should stay,
A reminder of goodwill when it seems contrary..

Lo! the clouds part, and reveal the skies,
Following the winds west to the horizon,
Crisp bright blue, beautiful by comparison,
A long straight rainbow in the middle it lies..

Lonely souls with lonely hearts,
Eyes now fixed on up high,
Hope and smiles in equal parts,
A singular miracle, in a great grey sky..

As the clouds closed its open seams,
The light of the sun begins to move,
Nothing is ever what it seems,
As nature seems to always prove..

Time may pass before all is done,
Cleansing the world of all that's before,
The past moves on so the future may run,
A new chapter begins at its very core..
