Rise & Shine

 

as I lay in my bed

I stare at the sky wondering

what the week will bring

as vacation arrives.

the sun has gone

from bright orange to light grey,

or is it the clouds

that are coming to stay?

gratitude fills my heart

for another day is starting to unfold

as “rise and shine” comes to mind,

I wonder if it is for me or the sun.

however fluffy the clouds may be,

rain they will bring certainly.

the words and feelings are all jumbled up

perhaps I will do as the sun- rise, shine and then hide behind the cotton fluff.
