The Storm Storms Clouds

Storm clouds rolling across the canyons of  my mind

Emotions erupting like molten lava thrust from the burning bowels of earth

Thrown from the gut like premature birth

Metaphoric words and rhymes meaningless fodder lost in time

Lightning strikes throughout my mind

Stinging synapses distorting reality destroying time

My body ravaged by the storm

Like thunder rolling down my spine

Arms and legs like twisted pine

Left too long on planet earth

Too many days too long the nights

My soul and spirit longed for flight

And now the rains of change did come

Washing away all that’s numb

And now as the storm was finally done

And with the breaking  of the sun

Hope began to grow anew
