Color My Canvas

Rain falls, drips and drizzles, 

It's wet, soft and gentle.

Makes the sidewalk shine, 

and the trees alive. 

It can make my day better, 

or just the opposite. 

 Walking under the blanket of cloud

 reminds me how big the world really is. 

 Colors fade as everything turns gray, 

silences protrude as mist takes over. 

 As you and I think a little deeper,

 emotions peek through just a little more. 

 And just when you've had enough, 

the sun says good morning.
