Do rainbows colored shy away and hide?
Smiles are faint.
Tight and strained.
And any laughter felt…
Is encouraged to restrain.
Do the skies today seem a little dreary?
Do greetings shared,
Offer trite remarks with more to spare?
Where are those sparks that ignited gladness?
Why does a happiness bubbling with a start…
Quickly find an exit and departs?
Who is selling a cheapened forgiveness?
To be returned without a connected feeling meant.
Hope has dusted a rusting faith.
Crusting trust…
Many say they’d like to make!
And the times find those crying,
For much better weather to shine upon them!
