Teasing Sun

I was deep in thought

the day was as grey as the road I walked

My mood was the same

from the corner of my eye it came

I thought I saw

but then was deceived

I caught what I thought was the warmth of the sun

shinning down on me

But it was only the bulb of the street light making fun

though it shone as brightly like the sun

Cutting through the gloom of rain

my spirits lifted, my heart sang

There was a hope, the rain was gone

but only a moment did it linger

Twas dashed by the realization of a pointing finger

I stood soaked to skin looking up at the light

Upset, I was misguided, it shone so bright

then down the street I walked

wishing for the day to end I talked
