[hometext] => I have always loved storms. They always seem to help. I'm the only person I know who loves to stand outside in hurricane conditions
[bodytext] => The sun peaks through rain
another storm has been weathered
silver lines the clouds in the sky.
The world smells so much cleaner
as I still stand outside.
I'm drenched but I'm smilling
feeling like everything is perfect.
The rain has washed
even my jaded existence clean.
I shed my tears at the peak of
the storm today.
It burned as the rain cooled.
I still wonder if I'll ever see you again
but such thoughts don't linger
too long as everything seems pure.
Loved and lost
fallen from heights that
can't seem to be fathomed.
My hand misses yours
but I won't beg again.
It will become comfortable
with another in time.
I look up to the sky
and see my life still
in front of me burning.
It won't stop
just because you left me.
I won't let it
I won't die without you here.
Your voice is missed by
my ears and my
hair misses your fingers.
But another will come
and it will love them.
I'll do better this time
I learn from my mistakes.
I'm not just a fool
and my eyes are still open.
I tried so much to not die
but thats all it took.
That and this storm
one more that I've weathered.
Just like the pain
that you have caused me.

I considered not passing comment on this, but I reckoned that would be churlish, as this expression deserves at least some recognition of merit from myself.
It expressed sentiments I have felt, but have never thought about expressing.
"The world smells so much cleaner"
Is one that stood out. A commendable, original and honest performance.
And of course - I have stood out in many a storm myself, through choice or otherwise . . . |

| Nice comparison and well put. I like the gist of the whole poem, that we live on, even through stormy weather. Whatever that may be! |

I can relate to this completely. The line about one hand missing another is my favorite. BTW, my whole family was out in our last hurricane. The kids were actually rafting inthe backyard. Storms are very cool. The more violent the better.
