A Storm of Problems - 1. A Storm of Problems

A look at issues facing me personally and then looking outward at the problems of the world.

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.

So this was done in what is called end line poetry where the last word or words are used to begin the next line. Hopefully the idea I was trying to get out was successful. Thanks for reading. Comments are always welcomed.
