Sonshine

The sun peeks out from behind a cloud,
As if to say in words out loud,
I’m here to warm the coldness brought,
By troublesome worries and saddened thoughts,

I bring good cheer to end your lament,
And to offer you hope in the One that was sent,
Bearing a joyful witness that I live to tell,
Of he who quenches thirst from the living well.

So when darkness surrounds you and closes in,
And all seems lost to your soul within,
Look up to the sky for you’ve nothing to fear,
Where from amongst the clouds the Son will reappear

    Aw, this is really pretty, and I feel horrible about having to DQ you, but this contest is for dark poems... I did, however, enjoy your word-play on the title... Very creative indeed! This would have done well in my other contest, one that I did for uplifting poems a while back.

    Your words are comforting, and I wish you the best in the other contest. If you do write dark poems, and would like to reenter, then by all means, do. I would love to read more of your work! Better luck next time!

      Thank you

      The son is referring to Jesus, drawing a parallel between sun and son.

      I appreciate your taking the time to view and comment.
