Happiness was going to take me through parks,
stroll with me along shores,
and picnic with me atop hills,
but it never counted on the rain.

Then happiness was going to be the rainbow darting across the sky,
captured in a prism, reflecting on the grayness of my day,
but as I approached it disappeared.

And I was reminded of all the things that happiness could have been, but
never planned, like the pelting rain; the moments that conspired and all the
trivial things that led to today; that like the rainbow, at an angle, should
just as easily have disappeared.
Nothing to say, it's a scrap.

Wow, this is amazing. I absolutely love it! As you know I write about these sort of things too but you just touched on it to a whole different level. I love how you used the hurricane, which many nowadays can relate to. I perfectly understand the second to last stanza too. So many people including my self only seem to rely on God when bad things happen and they forget all about him when things are going well. I'm gonna have to add this to the list of poems that you wrote that are my faves.
