Every cloud has a silver lining.

The heavens opened

And fell a star,

To earth, to live to shine,

But not forever be observed.

Pretty eyes

Sparkled as they had

Before, when upon us here

That beauty shone.

Swept away

By love, or so it

Would seem, some days

Long and happy filled with fun.

'Twas new years eve,

That fun was gone,

The light had faultered,

And clouds had swiftly overcome.

No word arrived

To tell the story,

What had happened, and

Why love had been betrayed.

A year long battle

To find some reason,

Why that love

Had moved out of season.

But now the winds

Of change are moving,

Brave enough to fight

And shove dark clouds away.

A subtle clue

Known only to them,

Who are courageous

And who understand the signs.

Power to move on,

Boldly blows these clouds,

Show us heaven

Where this star shone from.

Coveted by many

For this very precious light,

And a heart once

Broken, now being restored tonight.

Oh that star

Would not lose the courage,

To let this light

And warmth, return once more.

And from the west

Came soldiers marching,

One who vanquished

Love for this pretty star.

The new horizon

Fled with the cry,

When darkest clouds

Ventured off to new sky.

And saw that star

Her chance to be free,

Loved again by truth

Washed away by the sea.

And from a cloud

Arrived her silver lining,

Which revealed to her,

As a bolt of lightening....
