.
As I walked down by the sea shore, at sunrise in my normal way,
storm clouds gathered all around me; another troubled day ?
Through patches of peaceful sunlight, were birds flying to and fro,
I knew then I must act at once, and face the bitter truth I know,
and walk off the path I’ve been on, these gloomy sad months past,
to search those rainbows for my Dream, for true happiness at last.

You were indeed fortunate to get God in a good mood, in a mood when he fancied a bit of painting. Usually he's out and about creating havoc, causing whirlwhinds, wars and other mayhem.

Thank you Sweet lady for your lovely comment.

Wow, what a wonderful comment. I hope you read some more of my work.

Truth arrives in the subconcious revealing what we already know, but somehow won't acknowledge. Dreams are like a knocking on the door asking us, can you hear me in here? Listen to what you already know and do what is best for you and the sun will shine showing where to find that pot of gold.

fantastic!
This is beautiful. I was there, I felt it. Higher Power(s) speak(s) to us in many different ways. You keep writing, this is an amazing piece of work, very inspiring, very touching, eloquent, from the soul.

Very Uplifting
It is such a joy to read an uplifting, so positive message such as this and not rejoice for how it was written as well. This was written by a true poet, one who can rhyme and knows what meter is. Most of what is being written today is not what is meant traditionally by poetry, but is prose that those who find rhyming too difficult and cannot do it, have convinced others that they are still writing poetry. --Ellis -
Thanks my sweet lady, may not be the local nurd though but I love reading your fun poetry too.

Deep
ummm quite deep this and sad.. Thought provoking
You have a very good expression in your poems.. I love your work x -
This is wonderful. Great emotion throughout the poem. The flow if it is nice too. Short yet very sweet and delicate. Your background picture to the side adds alot.
Storm clouds gathered all around me; another troubled day ?
Your background really relates to that specific line. Wonderful idea! You're very talented, keep up the great work! Looking forward in seeing more of it
