After The Storm

The storm passed She waited until it was done She looked through the window Watching the rain and lightning Checking the clock She was more than patient Knowing it was going to end The moment it did She became the little girl she was Running outside, there was no music Still, she danced and celebrated A new day was here And she wanted to live her way Laughing and smiling the way she always did That was what made her the little girl she was She was happy again © Poem – XXIV/XII/MMXXIV LRET
