 Outside the calm belies the storm within… The deafening thunder, lightning flash, and roaring of the wind… A smiling face to show the world that nothing’s going on… While just inside, the storm is raging strong… The storm begins with waking at the dawn… When realization, mixed with truth, fight courage to belong… They place themselves beside the door, that keeps them all at bay… The door stays locked…the key stays hid away… Those closest sense the storm and feel it’s course… They know the power that’s held within, and see it’s raging force… Destruction in denial looms upon each morning’s light… Those closest make their stand, prepared to fight… The storm that rages makes us who we are… And though the howling winds and swelling seas are never far… We hold their power inside our souls, to use as healing balm… The storm within subsides into the calm… Write on! -<--<--{(@ [This message has been edited by Sunny1 (edited 01-14-2001).] |

Sunny1~ This is absolutely beautiful ! The calm before the storm - is often elusive~ but the calm after the storm is usually beautiful. That graphic is sooooooo lovely. It sets the mood for your poem so well. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

If not for the storms in our life we may not ever appreciate the calm. Excellent piece from you and this one truely brings a bit to ponder with it. You have penned a wonderful poem to reflect on and I am sure it will cause me to do just that. |

Lady First of Sun, I have ridden the storm through a reign of hurt to have risen above to float the clouds yet the deafening roar, remains to remind of a time that must be overcome, and someday, it shall... 'tis your beautiful words I read this morn... Lady Ollyne "O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit"...Shakespeare |
