Present Darkness

Tears and rain fall down.
Hearts break, thunder crashes, and
The lightning brightens
Darkness, momentarily.
Missing the times of laughter.

  2. Leara, your words are so poignant. Aren’t we all feeling this way? “Missing the times of laughter…” It feels like we are now in a dark era. Keep the hope, friend. ❤
