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 *** November 30, 2016

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.

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 :)
