It storms as if

Mother Nature

Knows, Feels, Expresses

My own feelings

Drowning in tears

That fall, like raindrops

Hitting the earth. Causing only

Sadness with the numbing grief

Thunder booms, as loud as I

Cry out. As If, in competition of

Suffering or Pain

Lightning flashes, and all goes dark. And I

Do nothing but wait.

Wait to be struck, brought back

By life and Mother Nature's Wrath
