There is a storm outside,
lightening making its,
beautiful way,
across the sky.
thunders boom shake the earth,
and echos cascade down the
valley.
a cool breeze blows across my body,
from an open window,
caressing me slowly,
and then more furious,
then gone.
the rain pommels the ground,
head turned,
look across the hall,
sleeping child unaware,
how innocent,
restless is my mind and body,
searching for something untanglable,
mind racing,
should i, shouldn't i,
lifes questions,
rattling around inside my head,
the storm quites,briefly,
resting, to gather strength.
what answers am I searching for?
why is my body unable to lay still?
drifting off, half awake,
no real rest tonight,
and the storm goes on.
