Again I Shall Shine

Rain from my soul

Cleanses my heart.

Within myself,

The storms are welcomed.

I am the weatherwoman

And the forecast is bleak.

After the weather,

The birds will soar.

I know the winds,

The currents,

The gales.

I know the rain,

The torrents,

The floods.

Tragedy has struck.

But, as always –

Out comes the sun,

The life-star, my

Force.

As with the weather,

Again I will live.

Only now the calm

Will be longer and

The storm short-lived.
