Storms of Life - Poem

Storms brewing in the north,
Clouds of anger and unhappiness always,
Roiling, churning, twisting, spewing
Lightening strikes conveying destruction.
Dark gloomy skies stretching, reaching,
Billowing south toward my tender heart.
Distant acknowledged thunder recognized,
By futile, powerless attempts, impeding its path.
Beating back, exhausted, stumbling, falling,
Surrendering the storm to life’s lessons knowing His
Rain must follow; washing, refreshing, cleansing
Souls, before new growth appears.

Something has to die for something new to begin. It's the cycle!
