Clarity

as the thunder cracks
limbs are snapped from trees
lightning strikes my world
illuminating clarity

it all boils to the top
my subconscious spilling doubts
everything that's been hidden
now turning inside out

it rages on internally
tumultuous rain pours down
soaking but not cleansing
as I silently drowned

Great image of the lightening "illuminating clarity" on the world below, J B. But the turbulence around you seems to have taken a toll on you. I hope you find some peace, the "cleansing" you have earned and deserve. Love, Carolyn
