Looks like the sun found its way out of

That dark cloud that keeps following me around

At least for today

I've got a ray of hope

 

I've opened doors and I've burned some bridges

I'm still looking for my fairy tale ending

There’s a lot of time left before the credits roll

So quit trying to guess the ending, and enjoy the show

 

 

I'm still reaching for the stars but I'm dancing in the gutters

Time's the only thing that’s ever flown

And I still have faith in things unseen, but sometimes I wonder

What it is that keeps me hanging on

Another December gone.

 

~Jarrod Birmingham, from "December's Gone"

 

Just heard this song on the radio tonight. The lyrics reached out and wrapped around my heart.

I had to share.

    Beautiful lyrics, Barbara, and such a gorgeous image. We have sun today too. There has been a serious lack of that this winter, so I am really enjoying seeing it.
    Happy day to you!

    Honestly I thought you wrote a poem. “What it is that keeps me hanging on” reminds me of “keep on keeping on” expression

    Those clouds sort of remind me of the creation of Adam on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

    Well, technically I guess they're the same clouds, created by one Artist (originally. 🙂
