Weathering the Storm

A storm is brewing, dark clouds advancing in While tears roll down an embattled face Betraying the tortured scars within Each tear falls entwined in rains embrace. He knows the hardships aren’t over Soon colour will drown out scorched dust Time must elapse before forage and clover Further rain to beat this drought is a must. Unloading his animals when he ran out of feed There’s a cost to sell, when no one can buy When the drought breaks, once more stock he will need Irony demands growth will push prices up high. Financial pressure has taken its toll Each day of sun filled completely with gloom No income, while a mortgage eats at his soul Years of recovery on the horizon do loom. Exploding emotions as rain touches the dirt A passerby might see something awry A storm slowly starting, and a man that seems hurt Kneeling bent on the ground, he's broken in cries. 18th April 2015 A Storm Is Brewing Contest Sponsor - Kelly Deschler
