After the Storm

AFTER THE STORM Mid deepest black of heart break sorrows Vanish fear of dread tomorrows, Cruel pain that scars and shakes us Bravely heals and then remakes us. Dawn Light bids from far flung hills, Joy surrounds –with each step thrills. Doubts will vanish with a sigh-- Mindless worries pass us by. Treasured arms enfold us--warm-- After the storm.
