Clouds meet the sea on horizons of fear
and dark the days numbered one on to three
that harbours and hides the immortal truth
from the ordinary man in the street.

And as I peered through the eye of the storm
the knowing of more spread fulsome and free
like love breaking through the shackles of life
and losing the chains of anxiety.

But it pays not to count the days, months, years,
or wonder who calls an end to the storm
when given free reign to rage undisturbed
until peace the end result of it all.

I stand in the midst of my raging storm
aware of the sun playing hide and seek
but it tempts in vain this one in the know
that for every storm there’s a better “me”.

The sun plays its games; dark clouds have their day
and I surely am in awe of this storm
that shakes, rattles, rolls, a once neutral state
and brings a new dawn right to my front door.

And I heard it knock persistently sure
again, again, over, over again,
for a new dawn is love born of a storm
and trained to knock, knock over again!

Thanks so much, GS, for your kind comment. I'm just hoping now to retain the calm after the storm - until the end of it all.

New dawns bring such beautiful hope -- as does your poem. I enjoyed this a lot.

Thank you, Alison. Glad you enjoyed! I somehow don't think hope is what it's cracked up to be - maybe just to know is better.

This verse makes it all clear.
Enjoyed.
