As I was standing in the rain and snow, A striking ray of sunshine split the sky, And spilled on me its golden honey glow, The shining star that caught my fading eye, And as the shadowed grey parted within, Excluded by the incandescent light, The brilliant and captivating grin, Spread all across the sky to paint it bright. As I am standing in the pelt and pour, This blanket grey above shut out what shone, The ghost of warmth I felt, I still feel more, Though gentle glow I loved once now is gone. I wait, for still my spirit does not wane, Nor hope that I will see my sun again.
