Every day will be a gift
even grey and rainy Mondays
because eventually all the clouds will lift
and they'll become sunny Sundays

Every night will be the best
even when the wind is screaming
because eventually it will have a rest
and amongst stars we'll be dreaming

Every moment will feel better
and you will shed your last tear
just when you think your winter will get wetter
suddenly the skies will clear

He flipped the pages
one after another
his curious fingers
tracing each syllable
of her untold story,
the deeper he dived
in her mystic maze
his fingers were smudged
with ink and her tears
the words were stripped
her soul was bare
and he fell in love
with her cryptic layers
