This poem talks about storms that face us in today’s world. There are hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, but what about our inner storms?

The storm….she was brewing….with a ferocity we never knew

The storm….she was coming….through darkness there would be no morning dew

The storm….she was so evil….Cyclopes eye was glaring, yet his lips were a grin

The storm….she was moving….and soon chaos would set in

The storm….was what he brought….no sex need apply

The storm….he gleamed….as he made all look to the sky

The storm….they mocked us….with tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods

The storm….He warned….it spills all of our bloods

The storm….the world exclaimed….will spare us for sure

The storm….the masses soon learned….would leave its aftermath impure

The storm is around us and it circles our heads

The storm takes no prisoners as it sucks us out of our homes and our beds

The storm….the globe quivered….as it shook to and fro

The storm….the masses screamed….its ferocity we do not want it to show

The storm of biases, hatred, intolerance and sin

The storm is each of us in our battles within

The storms that come are vicious and evil

Our personal storms bring families too much upheaval

The storms of life are still brewing, they come at any hour

The storms troubles will be lessened just turn them over to a Higher Power

Storms can be demons that arrive on any day

So shelter your storms, turn to God and pray!

    This reminds me of a couple of Gospel songs I have been known to sing. One of them is called “I Told the Storm”. The opening lines go like this:

    Even though your winds blow
    I want you to know
    You cause me no alarm
    ‘Cause I’m safe in His arms
    Even though your rain falls
    I can still make this call
    “Let there be peace”
    Now I can say “Go away
    I command you to move today
    Because of faith I have a brand new day
    The sun will shine and I will be okay”
    That’s what I told the storm….

    I told the storm to pass
    Storm, you can’t last
    Go Away. I command you to move today
    Storm, when God speaks
    Storm. you have to cease
    That’s what I told the storm……

    The inner storm is destructive too, but a person can control it to make his life and that of other people around him better.

    We all have storms in our lives, the point is to weather them and move on to better things. Well said.

  • LCM Linda on May 25, 2011

    Interesting poem. Thoughtful and inspiring. When talking about storm, nature steals into my mind shortly. We often overlook the storm of life that can be even more disastrous to a person.

  • avleen kaur lamba on May 26, 2011

    wow well written…

  • Likha on May 26, 2011

    I believe our inner storms have a lot to do with the storms and disasters around us. As within, so without. Well-expressed Dennis.
