Yet, I am still happy

 

Sitting here watching the rain,

drizzling in dreary impressions,

painting the scenery in a wash

of gray skies and clouded thoughts

Dampness collects in the corners of my mind,

dripping down staggered dreams

and drenching inward endeavors,

coating this existence

in weeping phrases falling on weak knees

 

 

Yet, I am still happy…

for I know that regardless

of this weight pushing me down

in puddles of despair,

the sun is shining somewhere,

beyond the barriers unfolding

on this cold December day 

and I will find it... I will find that sun,

my sun...when I find your smile

I guess, there is, a bright side to, a December rainstorm. In that one doesn't have to get out the shovel, and dig yourself, out of a monstrous snowstorm, like Buffalo, NY did earlier, last month. Still, even having a warm and friendly face, waiting for you, just falls short for me. Especially, knowing I have three beautiful cats, to greet me, upon my arrival, at my apartment. Damn SAD. May you continue enjoying this brief repast from the coming winter, Will.

Therisa, thank you for your kind comments on my poem but know, some day you will find that smile and you will feel the warmth, even if it takes 100 cold rainy December days...there is one waiting. Trust me on this, I have faced many of those days but when I was about ready to toss in the shovel, the sun appeared and my days have been bright ever since. Yours will too.

Your welcome, Will. I hope your words come true, until them, I have Star, Venus and Squeak, to greet and keep me, warm.

Even the dreariest days will eventually brighten, especially when you know there's someone special who smiles for you.

Lovely poem, glad it had a happy ending. :)

Thank you Ana. Some days can be so dreary but most days are filled with a brilliant light and it always seems to radiate from a beautiful smile...it's pretty bright here right now. :)

A deeply tragic yet uplifting piece that reflects the same pain I feel every day. I relate to it and like you hold on to the promise of warm rays.

They are there John...they'll peek through eventually. Get your sunglasses ready. Thanks so much.
