[hometext] => They say... u gotta live 'em before u can write 'em... well... this one speaks for itself... comment if u plz...
[bodytext] => Softly... falling tears can create... Rolling emotions within that don't seem to relate Broken hearts and fears in this life of give and take... That robs my soul of its joy... and its grace And replaces them with pain... As the wild winds of doubt and shame... Keep blowing in... Howling in my face... Haunting me... again and again And the next thing I know... I've got a brewing storm... raging deep inside of me Wanting to be set free... From the many changes and problems this life brings... That aren't even connected... It would seem Then I find myself... in the middle... Stranded in the middle of the storms The storms of life.... That are raging all around me As the thunder warns and rolls in distance... And the lightning strikes in an instant... It flashes so blindingly bright... Lighting up my own dark midnight Now... I'm feeling like nobody cares for me anymore Crying most of the time... As I sit and stare into the storms... Into the storms of my life I'm feeling so alone... Oh... how it hurts me so... 'Cause nobody even cares if I live or die.... Or just fade away into the midnight blue skies Stranded in the storms... In the storms of life Feeling like there's no tomorrow for me Listening to the thunder roll... And watching the lightning strike at the deep blue sea... I call my life... I feel like I just lost my best friend... I feel like this life is all about to end... So down... so alone... Where has my life gone? Why has it left me in some big old cloud of dust? These answers... I seek... And I cannot seem to find I feel as though... I'm at the end of the line There's nothing left for me here anymore As I'm trying to seek shelter from the storms Time is creeping in on me... Ever so slowly... Dark and ominous... the storm clouds hang In my tearstained skies My life is nearly done... There's not even a hint of things to come... As I'm standing here alone... Stranded in the storms... In the storms of life The roads leading into my heart Have become impassable... Before I can reach shelter from the storms... I've become bogged down on some lonely... desolate stretch of life Just needing to be found... The storms are getting more fierce... Gaining in strength and power... Growing more dark and lonely with each passing hour Now is my only chance to seek shelter from the storms But which way to go... forwards or backwards? For I'm down in a valley... Far below... my life a sunk to the lowest of lows This soul is not so brave... but onward it goes... Seeking a sanctuary from the storms It's rough going... I keep climbing until I'm spent I cannot climb another step... For I'm stranded in the storms... In the storms of life I feel as though I'm drowning in the river of my mind... Where no one would ever find me in time But I've got to keep going... It's my only chance to survive before it's too late... I take a headlong plunge into the wilderness of the heart and wait There's no other way... but to ride out these storms... That I find myself stranded in... These storms of life I was caught totally unprepared for what lies ahead... And now I feel I have no friends... To help me survive all the pain and dread That has crept into my life I'm left all alone to fight on my own the fierce storms... that I'm stranded in... These storms of life...

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. ©
