sorrow is when a great loss pours over you
and floods your heart killing everything in it
but all weather turns and emptied clouds break apart
some birds start singing and things begin to dry out
at first you open the door and step outside for the zest
in the air wave at neighbors maybe pet a dog
for the first time in long awhile
and if you lift your eyes to the horizon
and if there’s a rainbow
you’ll know you’re ready
to be seeded
with color
once again
