WyldBreeze said:After the Storm
By
WyldBreeze
The winds cry through the night,
Their cold breath chilling my soul.
Bringing the engulfing blackness of clouds,
Leaving me confused in isolation.
The sharp explosion of thunder,
Deafening in its power.
Causing teeth to chatter and the soul to cringe,
Freezing me with memories past.
Lightning flashes before my eyes,
Causing shadows to rise up over me.
Clawing at me, tearing at my heart,
Flash after flash bringing me to my knees.
Fear overtakes me....fear and lonliness.
Hiding my face in my hands as I weep.
Kneeling on the cold floor....defeated,
All hope, all trust in myself...all of it gone.
Time stops in the silence after the storm,
No light...no darkness...no beating of my heart.
My body slowly attuning itself to my surroundings yet again,
Awakening to the beauty after the storm.
The sunlight, warm and comforting,
Rises in the east to caress my back.
It warms my chilled soul from inside out,
Slowly bringing the ability to feel back to the surface.
The gentle morning breeze dances across my upturned face,
Bringing with it the aroma of a new day.
Freshly washed flowers deliver their sweet smells upon moving leaves,
Sweet...clean...fresh...new.
Sounds of morning cause my heart to stir,
Birds awaken and the darkness surrounding me disappears.
I hear the sound of peace...of contentment.
It echoes in the steady beat of my heart, in the surety of each breath.
I see the beauty after the storm....
Without ever opening my eyes.
Beautiful Poem Wyld...very nice...the storms sometime befall all of us at times..Keep it up dear...
