Heavy Rains and High Winds
Washing Our Troubles Away
All I can hear
Is the loud noises
My vision is impaired
Even though I can not see clearly
I am not scared
My heart races with unknown expectations
I tune in instead of tuning out
The fierce winds rattle against the window pane glass
Planting my feet firmly on the floor
I listen to the constant howl
In the darkness
Restless and uneasy
I calm my nerves by taking deep breaths
As the early morning light breaks
Now I can see clouds racing across the sky
Only to bring about a world of change
I welcome this new moment
With open arms
