A free verse poem about how sunshine brightens a drab day.

Overcast and rainy,
the day is another in a
long procession of gray
and drab days.
June set a record for
rainy days, and July
is following suit.

I sit looking out my
kitchen window at the
drizzle falling. My mood
matches the weather.

Suddenly, the cloud cover
parts and a golden ray of
sunshine fills the yard,
making the world dazzle,
as the sun’s bright smile
drives away the gloom.
My spirit soars at the sight.

Later, as I sit in the den
contemplating some
profound thing or another,
my Linda enters the room.
Our eyes lock; she smiles…
pure sunshine!
May her smile ever
warm my heart so.
