When the Storm Subsides

When the Storm Subsides When strong winds dissipate, calmer skies appear The torrential rainfall changing the atmosphere Taking in all that Mother Nature provides Sun tries to peak when the storm subsides Droplets of rain dance on ladened tree leaves Drenched soaked ground too much it receives With pooled and puddled soil drenched abides All taking place when the storm subsides When people are fighting, causing each other harm When the hatred stains the air, puts you in alarm When it is finally all over and calmness resides And all healing starts when the storm subsides When everything you do seems to go awry And frustrations and anger simply multiply You look inwards to find where your love resides To calm yourself until the internal storm subsides There are certain themes that represent a storm Be it atmospheric in nature that takes form Or be it anger, hurt or despair that resides Be ever so grateful when the storm subsides
