Sun Shower

A fall of stars, aglow in their tragedy,

A sheer curtain of light, a mist that transforms.

A distant thunderclap murmurs, eerie,

And the whipping wind promises storms.

A strange calm falls over me now

Amid the golden raindrops,

Though thunderclouds loom and all the trees bow,

The upcoming chaos, for a moment, stops.

And the world is still, and the sun is beaming,

And the rain is cool on my heat-flushed skin,

A reminder that even a storm seems gleaming,

When the light of the sun illuminates what's within.
