Undeterred

Have you ever had dark clouds sneak in
When you were basking a bright sunny day?
A little smile edge it's way to you
While you wallowed away?
Have you ever seen the red
Fight it's way out of the white and black?
Or the yellow flower grinning nonchalantly
In a barren field burning all else away?
Seen the lone wave break the surface
Even when the air is still and staid?
You will find the one drop escaping to fall
Tissues be damned, hello shirt stain!
Have you found that river refusing to stop
No matter how crooked the forest makes it?
Try as hard as you can to shut it out

It will sneak in, feelings will find a way!
