I always feel so grateful when the storm has passed
When the sun shines peering its face out
From behind those clouds
That pass on by
I love the feeling of the rain
Receeding
As much as I draw comfort on days when
The heavens open
For a while
There were so many many years
In which the darkness lay around me so heavy
It felt impossible to smile
So that now I see the self who struggled
Only with compassion
How could I be somewhere I was not
How could I truly find the way to go forward
Without counting the cost of what was
Lost
And yet sometimes it occurs to me
That all I loved can never be
Perpetually
Taken
For love lives on
Even in strains of sadness
That arise as I listen to a song
We used to dance or sing to
Because along with the shedding of the tears
Come as well
Feelings of gratitude
For I know in time
The storm passes on
But what always remains
And can never be stolen
From my heart
Is the lingering refrain
Of our favorite song
We are, always, looking, searching for, that, clear, blue sky, when we’re, being, rained on, and sometimes, the rain poured, too hard, we lost, sight, of, that, patch of, blue skies, that’s, hidden, behind, those, dark, clouds…

Excellent Mate
My next segment should resonate very closely to you.
I know what I am and I don’t try to hide or run from it.

Aww that is spot on…but what I am trying to articulate is how it feels after you bore it through, integrated the pain, and then got the burst of new life and healing that follows .. Its hard to express the depths of the process sometimes.. but i get what you mean.
