after the rain

Always,

after the rain

comes the sun.

Grey skies

followed by vivid blue.

It is not hurricane Bill, not last week's tornado,

just the dull and wet and blah

that seems to sap me of joy,

not life threatening challenges, but the daily disappointments that hide the sunlight. 

Too many projects on the go 

that rob me of direction. 

Lack of direction 

that prevents accomplishment. 

Lack of accomplishment 

that discourages.

And then 

out comes the sun

that dries up all the rain...
