A Break In The Grey

Picture taken by me, poem inspired by the partial rainbow

 

There cannot be rain

Without a cloudy day

And without those showers

My soul would never be cleansed.

If my soul was never cleaned

It would eventually be buried in dirt

And getting entombed prematurely

Would make me the walking dead.

If I were to become a zombie

I would miss out on  a colorful life

And not appreciating living colors

I’d never experience my piece of the rainbow.

My pleasure, I haven't been very social here. I am trying :) Have a good day!

Nice! Zombie wordplay added some humor to a already great statement.

It is said that after every good rain comes a rainbow. While I'm allways out there looking for one, many times I don't see it.

I don't know if it's the pollution in the air or I just don't know where to find it. And I really don't think ANYONE knows what a zombie is, unless you work for the government and then it's a given. *Grin*

Well, that is certainly true! I really enjoyed the way you rolled this piece out. Everything, even the grey, is necessary. A good way to look at life!

Thank you... yes everything has its place.
The bad things helps us appreciate the good things more.

Yes, even the smallest thing that looks unimportant has a rule in the universe. Everything is interconnected and each is of great value. You have great inflection on here.
