CLOUDLESS SKY
If given the choice of a cloudless sky
or a rainy day and some time alone,
I’d be tempted to stay home, maybe cry
for time I’ve wasted, for things I have done.
Regrets abound. I tally rejections
until I’m awash in melancholy,
calling up times of painful desertions--
focusing all my attentions on me.
Clouds roll away and introspection flees.
Old sorrows disappear and losses fade
in the distance. New possibilities
lift my eyes and I recall when I prayed.
I see the depth of the pain in my past
means sweeter peace when the Son shines at last.
