May Day Sonnet #2

Always remember, May or December
Southern hemisphere or North, West or East
Umbrellas block rain, sleet, and sun’s ember
No weather is the greatest or the least.
Now warm summer sun is pleasant. No doubt.
You can let it evaporate your tears.
Deep snow might make you cold inside and out
And strong winds can blow away all your cheers.
Yet blown cheers whirl throughout the world wide.
Indeed they spread joy, if that is your wish.
No joy from dried tears, they’re salt that you cried.
Mind you salt can flavour life’s complex dish.
A day may be good bad or neither nether
You just can’t judge a life by its weather.

Always remember, May or December
Southern hemisphere or North, West or East
Umbrellas block rain, sleet, and sun’s ember
No weather is the greatest or the least.
Now warm summer sun is pleasant. No doubt.
You can let it evaporate your tears.
Deep snow might make you cold inside and out
And strong winds can blow away all your cheers.
Yet blown cheers whirl throughout the world wide.
Indeed they spread joy, if that is your wish.
No joy from dried tears, they’re salt that you cried.
Mind you salt can flavour life’s complex dish.
A day may be good bad or neither nether
You just can’t judge a life by its weather.
