the walls are closing in around me
a crushing weight I cannot bear
strenghtened by gail force winds
I fall to the ground with heaviness
my spirit is broken
how can I survive?
darkened by the calamity
a sky clouded by the storm
no where to find shelter
to run and hide
let the winds do their damage
and the hail pound down hard
destruction will bring it all down
demolishing years of hopes and dreams
doesn't matter anyway
they never were true
just a figment of my visions
so let it all come tumbling down

just remember, though the storm rages, there is calmness after the storm.

Well this is the longest "hell raising" storm I have ever encountered.  Still waiting for the calm, and starting to think this one might just be the "big one" that does me in.  Thanks for your encouragement though, I appreciate your kindness.  Lynne
