Where Storm Clouds Reign
Weather or not the rainstorm hits
I can always hear the thunder,
The pounding that won’t quit
Tends to leave me in wonder.
The violent push of a strong tide
That sweeps me off my feet
The feeling when two forces collide
Be they atoms fused or converging streets
What is this sense, the roaring rush,
The lightning spreading through my veins?
Is it fear of flames, the blazing brush,
Or all the dreams that I’ve slain?
Some moments are blurred by a hazy dust
Suffocating the vibrant day.
Trees begin falling to the earth’s very crust
All at once my hopes crumble away.
Other times like the soft, friendly breeze
I’m guided in a different direction,
I’m an eagle that soars above the trees
Which to me, is absolute perfection.
