PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I can provide a canopy

to protect you from rain

when your heart’s

become overcast.



Then without the force

of pain’s monsoon

pelting your solemn soul,  



you can wade in puddles~

small reminders of all

you have overcome.



But my most functional use

is to be shelter from the sun

when the heat of joy

beats down on you,



filling you with warmth

but not enough to

cause fainting spells;



I shield you adequately

to still tan your skin

with a sunny countenance.
