Storms In Life

Thunder sounds in the distance,
And the clouds are rolling in.
There is a heaviness in the air,
A storm is about to begin.

You jump as the lightening cracks,
Your nerves are standing on end.
A musty smell is riding,
Upon a wandering wind.

Much like the storms in life,
That eventually pass on through;
These storms too shall end,
Revealling a sky so blue.

We just have to hold on,
Until the calm finally returns.
We all live through those moments,
And from those moments we learn.
