Forget

.

Forget the dark clouds

they are not worth it

you are sunshine

and starlight

the secret ingredient

that makes the taste right

.

you are the final note

in a perfect song

the laugh

that travels airwaves

and the shine

on a drop of rain

.

you are the surprise

of blue sky

after days of grey

and the snowdrop who appears

one January morning

fully formed

.

you are the breath of fresh air

that everyone needs

in these dark, foetid times

you are all and nothing

the sweetest soul

the wisest word
