Into every life some rain must fall.

I Love You.

Amidst the Storm  

There are

days

when

storm clouds gather.

When

the sun can’t break through

the veil of gray.

Claustrophobic

days,

when

fog obscures the view.

Days

when

you feel as though

you can’t breathe.

Days

when

snow and rain

wet your face and cloud

your vision.

Days

when

you see the bones

of trees standing

amidst the storm offering

no shelter.

 

These are the days when the earth rests

after days of sun that offered no umbrella.

Days when the earth recovers from winds

that beat and rearranged her treasures.

Yes, there are many of those kind of days for all of us. Sad but true.

WOW!!! You’ve hit this right on the head Linda, and said it so beautifully. I know I’ve had days where I feel like that. I love you.

I'm sharing this with my sister, who grieves every day, even after 14 and a half years. Beautiful words.
