After the Storm

I cringe at thought of another storm 
that will uproot new plants of morning
until my roof and my home
will become more weak than my days.

But I can wish for the midnight sun
to come and glow behind the ridges
of the hills seen through clear waters
where another hope begins;
perhaps,
another tomorrow after the rain.

This poem is well written and presents a moment in time as a woman experiences a flood of emotions as she views life. Emile.
