Poem
A season of storms we weathered Fought against the waves of rain Tried to build our own shelter With what we had left Scattered all around us Only for it to be blown away Leaving us naked Exposed to the elements Shivering from being soaked We could feel it in our bones Weary and worn Our spirits beat down Finding no relief We began to seek escape In all the wrong places Only to travel in circles With no direction But we kept trudging through the mud Against the relentless wind Losing sight of the plans laid out for us Losing sight of what we held close to our hearts Only looking at what we lost Losing the sense to fight Until we were neck deep Until we were drained Until we had nothing left in us Until it seemed all hope was gone Of escaping this never ending season Solid ground was nowhere in sight Our knees buckled and we fell Crawling with every last thing we had in us Until we collapsed The fight was over Laying there realizing What we were losing That we gave it our all Fought with all our might But that we could no longer continue This seemingly never ending battle Our vision had become cloudy We lost our way We lost everything so dear Raining pelting down on us Mixing with our tears Unable to hear our sobs Unable to hear our hearts break Over the roar of the thunder We done all we could do on our own The only place to look is up now Look to the heavens To see a break in the clouds A ray of sunshine beams through As the last drop of rain falls Glistening like a diamond We are bathed in light and warmth Relief washing over us A single ray of hope Beckoning us As the clouds roll away Seeing the beauty All around us That was always there Masked by a season of storms Trying to survive them on our own Instead of seeking The Shelter in the storm We find the strength to stand Embracing each other desperately Realizing what we almost lost Crying tears of joy Something happened inside of us Our eyes were opened Our hearts softened Filled with hope Neither has felt before Hand in hand We began to walk in the direction of the Light
