Black Clouds
Blackened sky enveloped her
A storm fierce and unforeseen
Lashing out its vengeance
Shattering the serene
Yesterday she’d lingered
Embraced the sun upon her face
Dark clouds just a memory
Blue skies in their place.
Black clouds too familiar
She’d beckoned them for years
Now determined to escape them
Weary of the tears
Fingers of lightning strike her
Though guilty of no wrong
Flashes of the shackles
That bound her for so long
Stinging tears of stormy days
She’d positioned in the past
Blurred the vision of the dream
That sunny days would last.
