Weltschmerz ... Patter

Today's word is "Weltschmerz" ... VELT-shmerts ... German. sorrow that one feels and accepts as one's necessary portion in life; sentimental pessimism. (Dictionary.com)

Patter
Dark days and storms,
Savage swirling rain,
All the waltschmerz deepening,
Allowing only pain.

Waken in us hope,
A joy revealed inspite,
Born of forgiving love,
Making all things right.
