A Sign Of Hope

A blanket of dull and lifeless grey
Covering as far as I can see
From horizon to horizon
The only thing left to comfort me

With no friends left and the lovers gone
I walk alone under the drizzling rain
Dwelling over haunting past mistakes
Realizing these thoughts aren't worth the pain

All mistakes are made to learn from
Sometimes the lessons are tough
But life isn't meant to be easy
Trying to keep my head high when it's rough

As the rain begins to fall harder
I take it all in, enjoy the fresh smell
Let it cleanse my mind and soul in one
Washing away the agony from this hell

Looking up, suddenly appearing
A rainbow spread across the blank sky
Slowly, a smile widens on my face
I wonder, is this a sign, and why?

Curiously, I watch it emerge
A sign of good luck, or so they say
Another, faded rainbow above
Outstretched, but weakening away

Surely a sign of hope seeping through
Closing the cracks on my shattered heart
Soothing the seemingly ceaseless ache
Giving me the chance of a fresh start

Gradually, the clouds begin to clear
Revealing a sky of serene blue
My once complicated mind refreshed
The smile on my face finally true.
