Storms

Standing in the dark, watching the storm,
I trace the rain down the window.
Memories cloud my thoughts.
The past, like the gale,
rages, swirls and crashes,
tormenting my soul.

I could have done better, I know that.
I could have worked less,
I could have listened more.
But, when it got bad, when our dreams faded,
I did everything a simple man
like me knew how to do to save it.

Standing in the dark,
Watching the storm.
I peer through the tempest,
searching for my haven,
for an answer to the torrent
raging in my heart.

Inner turmoil is a storm of far reaching magnitude. Those waves that soothe are forgiveness.  Deep read.

This is really very good - don't you wish you could read the answers to all life's questions in those rain drops sliding down the window pane?

Thank you TD for your kind reply. When calming the storm seams next to impossiable, then learning to ride its currents is the next best thing.
