JUST BEYOND THE RAIN<\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s difficult to know<\/em>
\nfrom one day to the next,<\/em>
\nthe canvas of the sky<\/em>
\nchanging so every day,<\/em>
\nhow things will go,<\/em>
\nwhat direction they’ll take,<\/em>
\ntoday blue skies and sunshine,<\/em>
\ntomorrow stormy gray; <\/em>
\nand driving rain is on the way,<\/em>
\ndark clouds clinging in silence<\/em>
\nto my mountains and my mood.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And as the rain begins to fall,<\/em>
\nI close my eyes once more<\/em>
\nas drop<\/em>
\nby drop<\/em>
\nby drop <\/em>
\nof rain<\/em>
\nthe gray that has consumed my mood<\/em>
\nis slowly washed away,<\/em>
\nmy heart caressed<\/em>
\nby each steady <\/em>
\nand rhythmic drop,<\/em>
\na soothing balm <\/em>
\nto the jagged edges<\/em>
\nthat have punctuated<\/em>
\nmy thoughts on this day.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And as the sun begins to shine,<\/em>
\nthe rain departing,<\/em>
\nthe clouds moving away,<\/em>
\nI find myself once more<\/em>
\nrefreshed and renewed,<\/em>
\nfeeling like myself again
\njust beyond the rain.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
