Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Always worth holding on

The treatment of doom

leaves me left in the gloom

of a day badly spent

and a life cruelly rent.

A storm cloud burst,

a lightening bolt cursed,

by night my demise,

by light I surmise.

So, so little I know

eyes turned down below.

Then, a glance to the skies

and I see my great prize,

the sun it does shines

and on beauty it dines,

the colour of summer

makes my heart murmur

a merrier more melodious tune.

"...makes my heart murmer a merrier more melodious tune."
Just this bit of alliterative fun puts a smile on my face!

Sunshine and vitamin D. The perfect ingredients for a smile and a song...or a great poem.

John, thanks for this poem. A solid reminder as I begin my day to find even a smidge of beauty, regardless of the circumstances of the grind.
