Gentle rain mixes with bright sunlight
Silver drops glisten, growing pregnant
A nearly sentient element
Each one is a prismatic delight.
Distance reveals a gay abstraction -
The clear radiant rainbow arc
Sweetening a sky no longer dark;
Grey, a casualty of refraction.
Together sun and whisper of rain
Cause my blue despair to fly away.
So like your smile in ev’ry way
Healing my heart and stopping the pain
~ For Stef ~

Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it. I had not written anything but dark for a while. I needed to write something happy and something for her.

Very, very pretty. Love the aliteration in the second stanza. Also 'prismatic delight' is going to stick with me all day XD
Stef is lucky to get such thoughtful and uplifting poetry,

very good.
I like the reassuring feel of this poem, it sounds softly spoken. I love the feeling joy that shines through in lines 9 - 12, stanza 3:
"Cause my blue despair to fly away.
So like your smile in ev’ry way
Healing my heart and stopping the pain"
