Melancholy Bliss

When the rain 

Drops 

Kiss the Earth

In the melancholy 

Bliss of a new day

The sky opens 

Before my eyes 

As an enticing

Downpour 

Of renewed hope

The light pours

From the heavens 

As a new dawn

Peaks 

Beyond the horizon

The somber wind

Begins to play 

A haunting melody of 

Discord 

And dismay 

Yet the emerging sun

Chases the impending

Sadness

And creates a refuge

For the broken-hearted

Oh, to be a drop

Of the sunlight

That catches your eyes 

And lives forever in 

Memory

As a peal of laughter

Ripened by the joys 

Of endless mirth and 

happiness

The gift of childhood

The refuge as a last 

Resort 

For warmth and comfort 

Continues to be the heart 

that beats within your chest 

A constant thrumming, a 

Whimper 

A plea for peace 

Wreathed in the guise 

Of serenity 

Continue to beat 

Continue to 

Shine 

And keep the dreams 

Of reality from my waking eyes
