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? A |

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. Zeitgeist. |
