Gray clouds obscure
the brilliant blue that lies above.
It allows momentary rest
From the brilliant light.
Thoughts can lay low
Under the dark veil
Of clouds in daytime.

Rain splatters on the windows
Cooling peace
A change of pace.

That the sun remains
And still lights the world
Despite the clouds attempt
To hide it
Is a miracle in itself.
