Wednesday Vignette - Hope For the Sunshine Tomorrow

Many thanks to Anna at Flutter and Hum for hosting Wednesday Vignette!   Join the party by clicking here.

Seems like someone around here should start building an ark as it seems like it's been raining far longer than forty days and forty nights already!  Spring is slowly making itself known this year but it's still cold and wet outside.  For some reason this year I'm just not as motivated to be working outside.  Maybe it's the squishy sound the ground makes when trod upon; maybe it's just one of those seasons. I went out to the greenhouse to water and begin fertilizing plants and was delighted by a familiar summer fragrance.

There in the scraggly jungle of plants barely hanging on  was a brugmansia bloom.  Not a big thing, this happens on and off through the winter but on this spring day when it seemed like blue skies and warm temperatures will never return, this Angel's Trumpet was  whispering hope to me.

Soft as the voice of an Angel ('s trumpet)

Breathing a lesson unheard

Hope with a gentle persuasion 

Whispers her comforting word.

Wait, 'til the darkness is over

Wait, 'til the tempest is done

Hope for the sunshine tomorrow 

After the shower is gone. 

Whispering hope

Oh, how welcome thy voice

Making my heart 

In it's sorrow rejoice.
