I’ve noticed that sometimes
it can be
a very fine line
between sunshine and rain
Today when I went out
to hop on my bike
a few drops of rain
started falling down
I looked up to complain
and saw there was a fine line between
the sunshine and the rain
So I hopped on my bike
and took off like a flash
because I saw there was
sunshine to the east
if I could stay
just ahead of that fine line
between sunshine and rain
I caught the sunshine
that was just ahead
but I had to keep moving fast
to stay ahead
You see the dark sky was looming
off to the west
the rain was moving in
but slowly
if I hurried
I could stay ahead
I like to go riding
to find a place to where the sunshine
does shine bright
right there for me
I’m so thankful that
the sun does shine
ev—ery—day
Sometimes we see it filtered
through the trees
Sometimes we see it
crystal clear
as it rises fully seen
with no barr-i-er
Sometimes it rises
but in the cloud
We don’t see it at all
But it is still there
Rising like clockwork
As we make our or-bit
around the sun
We don’t see it
but it is definitely there
It might be covered in the cloud
But it still casts its light
On the ground
--Filtered
but still a form of light--
It casts it’s light
right over there
It still radiates it’s warmth
It still has its glow
Even if we can’t see it
from our seat below
From our seat
Below the clouds
Under the rain
The sun still
remains the same
The same
The same
Still bright
Still light
Still warm
Still whole
The sun is always
full
full
full

Some days I am in search
of the sunshine
but caught in the rain
sometimes I wake up
in the sunshine
and I remain the same
On the days I am searching for sunshine but find in the rain
I know that rain washes away
And makes me feel clean
Washes away
the hurt and the blame
After I’m clean
I am no longer
the same
When my junk is washed away
It’s like I get light
Even in the rain
I can start to feel bright
I know behind that rain
Is really once again
the sun-shine
(Or could it be
the son-shine—-the wrestling out
between the dark and the light)
In search of sunshine...
—weather—-liquid or clear
or
really—whether —liquid or clear
The sunshine remains
the same
Full
Bright
Warm
And light
I find the sunshine again and again.
