The Frost

Have you ever prayed so hard
for the rain to pass
that when a glimpse of the sun
finally starts to shine again,
you don't trust it because you can
still see some of the clouds?
How can I trust that the clouds
will no longer gray?
How do I keep from drowning
in the rain?
Can a flower be scared to bloom?
I can't say that we've passed our
last frost,
this Winter has been eternal
and the cold has been a constant
reminder of what we've lost.
