The Silver Lining

Winds of change
whisper a silent prayer
of hope of faith
of a tomorrow full of love

Banishing the dunes
built on sands of time
of memories, of yesterdays
of promises that were made to be broken

A roar from above
a crack in the sky
rains of fury falling all over me
washing the pain of endless woes

Then came an eerie wave of silence
a kiss of sunlight against damp skin
basking in the glory of feelings so new
I opened my eyes to wonders anew

N I saw the silver lining
below the cloud so dark
beside the sun so bright
Oh Yes! The silver lining
                           Sigma

Strange ! I experienced the exact same thing today..:D
Was standing at the station for my train and suddenly it poured heavily for like 3 minutes and then the clouds cleared and sun was up :D

The problem is, in a metaphorical sense, people tend to focus on the clouds for too long, cursing them for raining and destroying the perfect sand castles we've built... It's a lot harder to look beyond and see silver linings when you don't know what they even are.
But sometimes a leap of faith is necessary... to let the clouds rain as furiously as they can, confident you can manage it and that there will be sunshine and rainbows after that.

@Maithili - Ah! the silver lining :-)
@Roshan - True, people crib and curse, they don't even bother to sit back and admire, for only then do they get to see the hidden beauty behind those clouds.. n yes... the sun does shine and the rainbow do come.. if only people had the patience...

People fail to see the brighter side.
a kiss of sunlight against damp skin...... nothing like the sunlight.
