Around the Corner

Present turbulence
Occupying the skies
Like a madman's insolence
In pursuing his demise 
Until his madness is silenced.

Electric atmosphere
Burdened by constant charges
Desperately seeking release
But peace remains at large
For our fears have yet to cease.

The heavens overcome by strife
Incurred by a low pressure
Keeping our spirits in restless plight
Thinking there is no answer
But the constant echo of repeating trials.

However around the corner
The sky will clear once again
For the sun once more will conquer
After the clouds have reached their aim 
And discharge their load in showers.

Knowing such constance
Allows the heart not to fail
Under the pressure of turbulence
For strong its beating remains
Faith the key to its endurance.

A better atmosphere
Is always around the corner
Our fears come to cease
Unless we lose sight of the future
The time of peace will come to be.
