Weathering the Storm

there is a storm deep in me skies turn dark within my mind a raging tsunami begging to be free clouds obscure the truth to find tidal waves crashing forcibly lightning strikes and i am blind battering my body for all to see thunder tramples my heart to grind pain lashes out to ignore my plea as winds howl and i am resigned to my fate, my life, my time.

Very nice poem, very true, but only to those with the inner strength to conquer the storm, so many don't have that. Always enjoy your poems and hope you are well.

Hi Germaine, been reading a few of your poems and added u to my fav list. So whatever is going on inside, it's substance that fuels what you write. You demonstrate such a raw, open richness that I admire - Shaz

Shaz, thank you so much ! It's such a pleasure to know that my words have touched someone ! Yes I always tend to write my feelings out and once they have been put to pen I always tend to feel better !!! Thank you for a wonderful compliment on adding me to your faves!!!! I hope to live up to that fave list in the future !
