Sunshine, Raindrops and roses
Sunshine
Beautiful, warm ever-present sunshine
It was all around me
Almost blinding me
Suddenly
Clouds
Dark and threatening
Angry and roiling
Bringing a rain so cold I couldn’t feel my bones
A wind so strong like I’d never known
Darkness
Empty gnawing darkness
Binding me
Destroying all sense of direction
Full of terrors I wouldn’t want to mention
Hole
A deep dark hole in the ground
Full of desperation that bound
Leaving me with nothing to grope for
Sadness
Enveloping me
Consuming me
On death’s doorstep leaving me
Without an escape
Petals
White perfectly-formed petals
A single rose
Showing its defiance
It’s refusal to die in that terrible place
Realization
If it could make it then why couldn’t I
That there must be one who cares for this fragile
flower
Maybe care for me too
A higher power
Golden
The colour of the shaft of light
Lighting the path of my climb
Leading me where I could survive
Resolve
To use what I had
To learn to be glad
To start anew
To refuse to give up
