The Cloud

Of depression

Dark and foreboding

Cumulonimbus weight

Looms around her

Cold

Damp

Alone

Feeling the pitch

To her core

Sadness

Frustration

Anger

Rein deeply

Stealing with it all faith

Like a thief in the night.

-Then-

One ray breaks forth

And another

Another

Hope

Renewal

Promise for the future

Return fully

As the sun

Shines forth.
