Feeling Pain

The pain I feel A bad storm, Reeking havoc on my life Taking control I cover myself Trying to find shelter There’s no way out Facing the storm I fight through With less pain The storm calms I finally see the sun

Love the uplifting ending most of all, as we all go through life's storms it is always good to be reminded the sun does eventually reappear. Awesome poetry. Love, Shar

Hmm, men often try to run away from the challenges of life, but we’ve all got to face it and at the end it will surely be over and… we will see the sun. this is a very wonderful, comforting piece… wishing you all the best with your writes,you've got a great talent how is you studies and your sis?… I hope both of you are doing well… you’ve got a lovely family.

I too face my cloudy skies, and am reassured when I see the sun pierce through, that it's only a temporary storm. So much more beauty after it passes, that when it's there, I have so much to think about while awaiting its' passing...Raul

Sounds like you could utter the miracle word from the War Within and you'd see the sun with less of a struggle.

Life is like that sometimes isn't it....But its the battles, that make us better, wiser and stronger! That fill us with empathies and sympathies! That keep us grounded and humble, and realizing our dependencies upon someone greater than ourselves!!? Again, wonderful searching write of reflections!!~"Love & Warmth To You & Yours, Always, John!!":):) Bye Again ~
