The Storm Within

An anxious mind
Aches for sleep
Upon a dream-like cloud
Lightning awaits
Rapid
Nonstop
Flashes in darkness
Determined to strike
A spark ignites
Shivers rise
Behind closed eyes
Rain awaits

This is a nice piece! I read it and then read the title again, and then read the poem again. That's when it hit me!:)
