Silver linings are hidden behind the darkened clouds 

shadows once formed from rays of sunlight

now blending in as darkness surrounds

impossible to decipher day from night

~

 Where peaceful sounds of nature once sang their song

is now this eve replaced with thunder’s roar

to carry on seems a chore; how can one endure so long

before the storm sweeps them from the shore

~

 To fight so hard and be inhaled by life’s cloud of funnel

or stay ashore to be swallowed by the raging sea

makes one wonder about this eerie tunnel

the thing called earth that can’t just let you be

~

 Waters are rising high above the mountain top

and I’m forever fighting, even at the end of day

No longer asking for the winds to stop

I will embrace whatever comes my way

~

Whenever I hear the storms call my name,

then I’ll just pucker up and kiss the rain.
