Liquid Sunshine 

By Aileen McPherson

Darkness blankets, dampens

Spirits, pouring tears

Breaking sky, worlds collide,

Face the sky, cleansing

Sol speaks to souls, stem

The tide, light no longer

Hides, rain bright brings

Delight, upon misty

Mornings, sometimes floods

Without warning, stay dry

Until crying sky subsides, be

The light despite a soaking

Through the night.
