The rain retreats in silence
leaving the world reborn
Puddles mirror the heavens
the sky forgets the storm
A fragile beam of sunlight
breaks through the clouds above
laying its golden fingers
on fields that wait for love
Every sorrow has its ending
though shadows linger long
The light that comes after rainfall
is gentler yet strong
Hearts may keep this promise
when nights are cold and gray:
behind the fiercest tempest
the dawn will find its way
