A Storm of Problems - 1. A Storm of Problems
I watch them gather like dark storm clouds
Storm clouds of problems waiting to rain down
Rain down harshly stripping the land and laying things bare
Bare of all illusions I stand here alone.
Alone against the elements my life has forged
Forged both the good and the bad
The bad events seem to make it so much darker
Darker clouds bring a sense of violence
Violence, pain, and overwhelming despair whipped up like hurricane winds
Hurricane winds that flatten everything you love before them
Before them are the young tender shoots of spring
Spring that is supposed to bring a world of renewal
Renewal of pain, hurt and heart break to my life
Life tears at the walls built to protect me from the outside
The outside world darkens at the coming storm
Storm after storm seems rip across the landscape of my soul
My soul no longer sees the world as black or white, rainbows or rain
Rain falls tender at first like the tears of pain
Pain the likes of which I have never known surround on every side
Every side sees the darkness of a coming storm
A coming storm is headed toward me, and I cannot hide
Hide from how I feel about the things that are in my life
My life has seen the loss of love, friendship, and safety
Safety is something everyone should feel within their homes
Homes stand like solitary soldiers as the winds gather strength on the horizon
The horizon is full of choices yet to be made, a scary futures awaits
Awaits those who are brave enough to take the chances that are coming towards them
Towards them come both good and bad all over again, choices to be made
Made of light, made of darkness, the future is like the past
The past shows us where we have made our marks and our mistakes
Mistakes that cannot be allowed to dictate the future of our lives
Our lives are spent going from sun to storm and there is a storm coming.
