Gray skies and dark clouds gathering before the storm
that's coming soon, I see it now and can feel it in my bones
The leaves fall and disappear, running away from the wind
Thunder roars and lighting strikes, suddenly the world grows still
The rain falls with blinding fury, beating hard upon the roof
My heart stops with unknown fear, trembling deep within its womb
It grows cold the silence whispers I'm all alone in my bed
Suddenly with eyes wide open I see the tears I have shed
There was no storm! The sun is shining It's then that I realized
The raging storm was a bad dream, caused by the pain in my heart

Soki, I love your little twists at the end of your poems. I was all set for a raging storm and it was your poor breaking heart. I hope it is just a poem and not a real broken heart. I sometimes put myself into terrible situations just to get a poem. LOL. Have a happy day. You are a great writer. I'm glad you enjoy my writing too. diamond
I know exactly what you mean but at least you get a poem LOL
Thank you Diamond for your kind words. I really do enjoy your writing.
Happy day to you and also and a happy night. soki
Your poem took me back to nights when as a young person I would lie in my bed at night and listen to the storm - the thunder, lightning, rain on the roof and I felt safe within the womb of the storm. The end was a beautiful transition from a storm outside to the actual storm inside you and your tears the rain. Beautifully done.
I am glad you liked it. I too remember the storms and living in Florida W get them quite often. soki
