Life is a mystery

Life is a mystery
falling rain
thunderbolts everywhere
day after day
searching for dry land on a beach somewhere A glimmer of light
I stumble abroad
absorbing the energy
moment by moment
searching for a ray of sunshine behind the stormy clouds When it rains it pours
and thunderbolts strike my bones laid bare 
— Barbara Writes, Jun 30, 2010
