Darkness and Light

The raindrops come falling down

The leaves rejoice, there is beauty all around

This weather always has a story to tell

There is one here too, waiting to be found.

I try to untangle the scheme of things

Sometimes it is not that clear

The haze around is too thick.

The weight – it is too strong to bear.

The clouds now make a thundering noise

A small puddle forms around me

The sun plays hide and seek

I look up – there is a rainbow that I can see.

Life’s challenges never seem to end

But if you look hard, beauty is hidden everywhere

The sun behind the clouds tells me today

That darkness and light always comes in pair.

Even though I like this rain

I wait for a strong wind to send the clouds away

There is clarity in light, in mundane things
And so I wait for a bright sunny day.
