Dark misfortune may gather up above,
Bleak clouds that shower and beat the oblivious earth
Dread, Pain, and Despair soak and pool together
Yet know that this will pass, though the trials are rough and unbearing
It's essential for life
Wrath may strike across the heavens
And as hope is overshadowed by Anguish
There's no escape from the dark days
This too is essential for life, for rebirth
In time the heavens will be pierced by the rays of life
The pools will fade, the winds will settle, and the silence of peace will return
The storms will concede, the sun will shine once more
The stars will still be there twinkling and gleaming
The reward for endearing the dark stormy days,
Is the profound beauty of life all around;
Life isn't only joy and sunlight
It's also endearing the hard times
