Claudia Polydoro Poet Free verse

Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms rolling outside
Reflecting the turmoil of my mind
It's too much to wish for a quiet time? 
For a peaceful moment in my mind? 

Someone please let me know
How to turn off these thoughts that I don't want
This self doubt, feelings of inadequacy 
I need to take a deep breath and just be

Look at the trees swaying with the breeze
In a place where I can lose myself and just unwind
Refill my energy through the night
Just rest my body and my mind

Search for that calm place inside of me
Let it all go and feel free
Get rid of the heavy thoughts
Put them to sleep, against all odds

They don't belong to me
I'll set them free
I just want to believe
That i can reach all that I was meant to be

Let the darkness go
Look up for the light
Close my eyes and feel
A new day start

Fill my lungs with the morning breeze
Let the sun's rays wash over me
Fill me with it's light and warmth
Until I became peace and calm

Chris Green December 14, 2016 at 7:00 AM This is a beautiful poem about reaching and wishing, I think we all feel this way at times, but how do we know when we reach that point? I believe we are all there, yes, some thoughts may be dark but we touch so many people with our actions and in this case our words and that is a wonderful thing. Claudia Polydoro December 14, 2016 at 5:22 PM I agree Chris... I think we are all there but at some moments, we feel more "vulnerable" and that's when the dark thoughts gain more power over us... I'm glad I can touch at least a few people with my words, and I try to always end my poems in a positive way... Hugs :)
