Sunburst

Leaden for days, the sky wept sombre rain. Sullen clouds banked up lowering gloom, Shading with hazy mist my flowers again. Summer was stifled, and soon this noonday Would herald more wet, but forgetting much Previous wonder, I mistake a change In the face of the roses. They cease clutching Their stems, and flush. Brightness re-arranges The sky. They and I turn to encounter A sunburst vividly slicing with light All the grey, and blue appears, errupts founts Of orange blush onto the gloom. Fighting For room the sun explodes, cracks a hole, splits Asunder all veils - and brilliance emits.
