[hometext] => I began writing this poem about 2 years ago... then I put it away... not picking up the pencil again until last July or August when I was talking with my *adopted* niece and she encouraged me to write again... this is the result...
[bodytext] => They say... the eyes are windows to the soul Reflections of life... things best left untold Sometimes... they betray the thoughts held deep inside The saddness... the loneliness... you try to hide Behind all the joy and happiness in your life But all are exposed... in the light of the Rising Son For all the world to look upon As the storms of life rage on and on... I look into your eyes... Just one look... one glimpse inside I see the saddness of a frightened child staring back at me Nobody seems to love or know Just a nameless... faceless shadow Wandering through this dark life alone Never knowing where you're coming from or even where you're going to Just trying to seek shelter from the storms of life As they rage on and on... You're at a crossroads in your life Never knowing... which way to go Or even who's a friend or a foe You're desparate... you're scared that you're all alone on the journey through life You've got to learn to stand on your own and fight... to survive it all As the thunder rolls... the lightening strikes And the storms of life rage on and on... I look deeper into your eyes... Just one look... one glimpse inside I find myself surrounded by a life... tossed and torn Thrown upon a lonely sea of broken promises and empty dreams You've led a life of confusion and pain Sometimes making it through the hard rains As they flood your soul and sweep you away And the storms of life rage on and on... Deeper and deeper I go More and more I know You're reaching out hoping for someone to rescue you To hold you the whole night through And carry you into the daylight hour Away from the storms of life and all their power As they rage on and on... Only for a little while does this soothe the ache When the waters receede... what's left behind... you don't need All the bruises and scars upon your heart These things are tearing you apart The storm clouds gather on the horizon once again You try to run away and hide... only to find... the storm is closing in The closer it does... the darker your life becomes Until you can no longer see the light of the Rising Son The storms of life rage on and on... The four winds of life violently blow Each in a different direction they flow Sweeping you out upon the open sea once again As the thunder rolls from above and the lightening strikes at the sea The storms of life rage on and on... You're still holding on to some painful memories When you should be letting go of... Every mistake you've ever made... Every misdeed you've ever done... Every promise ever broken... Every dream left unspoken of... As the storms of life rage on... and on...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
