The Crimson Storm

What courage to weather a crimson storm
Rising up bridging the gap between fear and action!
Life changes like the colours in autumn.
Transitions are not as smoothe as seasons.

A crimson storm rages in the depths of the soul
Throwing up confusion like debris.
A crisis of identity, faith and point of view.
A questioning of where one stands in life.

A crimson storm isolates us in our own mind.
We wonder if anyone could understand and
The methods of management is down to us.
Courage walks beside fear helping us to rise.

They cross the bridge of uncertainty together 
And the person central to those feelings
Is greeted by joy on the other side
Because the storm did not hold them back.

When the heat of the crimson storm cools off
And life begins to settle down,
A character gains strength and knowledge...
What will this mean moving forward?
