Sometimes rain

Sometimes rain falling

Waters flowers

But drowns our soul

In a heavy weight of despair

That blocks out light

Then it is we feel

The life has gone from us

While our soul remembers the sweet memory

Of how tenderly sunlight fell

Illuminating space

With a sense of grace

While the memory of sunlight

Feels as a far away

As tenderness

And if someone says

Remember the sun

Sometimes the darkness is so heavy

That no memory comes

To ease our pain

This is just how it is some days

Some months

Some years

No sunshine at all

To light the way

And yet even as we waited

Upon the rising of the sun

All along seeds were germinating

Until one day

After all of this rain

We wake again

To view a field of flowers

Scattered as far ahead

On the horizon

As the eye can see
