After the Storm


Cool winds are gusting

as the thunderstorm nears

dark clouds forming

holding on to all that is dear


The harshness of his words

nothing can be done

life is over

death has won


Hashing out old feelings

watching as he takes a final breath

we had a beautiful life

one filled with depth


Lightning struck

as the feelings of anger rose

how can God be so cruel

when life is supposed to grow


Wind ripping now

trees begin to bend

the giver of life

how can it end


Looking beyond the staring eyes

filled with grief

becoming one with the storm

seeking relief


Transformation begins

as the storm reveals some light

few rays of sun

before the twilight


Healing from the damage

a long process

time of laughter and joy

is this success


A warm wind blows

can feel his embrace

living life to the fullest

feeling his kisses on my face


Transformation complete

the sun rose today

having found love again

perhaps I will be okay


In time eternal

we are dancing in the storm

there is no time and space

love is the norm
