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
