When Grey Days Outnumber The Sunny Poem by Practicing Poetess

When Grey Days Outnumber The Sunny

Rating: 4.9


When darkness is plentiful,
Or pain is abundant,
It seems hope is silent
As you soldier on.

But sunshine's most noticed
After days of storm clouds,
And darkness seems darkest
Right before the dawn.

Thank you, Rose Marie! This one is 'hot off the press'- - I was sitting here reading and listening to music, and this poem just came to me- - I had to jot it down quickly, before I lost it!

Thank you, Thomas, for reading and commenting! Most of my poems are usually longer. This one showed me how much can be said in few words.
