The dark and stormy night.

There is always a reason to live. We might not realize it until we find ourselves in difficult times. All criticism is welcome.

I found myself riding my car at twelve a clock.
It was so hard to keep the wheels straight.
Your memory kept me sane for a few more seconds.
It gave me strength to keep myself awake.

I saw everything stop before me.
Seconds became hours.
Hours became years.

The cars behind me flipped one after another.
Is this my time to die?
I barely had the chance to put my feet on the gas.
It seemed as though a power beyond that of my own had pushed my car to safety.

The rain continue to flow in dark sky.
I couldn't see the road for thy rain was dense.
A thunder left everything in front of me clear.
So white that my eyes hurt.

Could I be killed by thy lightening?
I pushed my fears away and kept thinking of you my darling.
The thunder missed me by a good 200 yards.
I almost missed your birthday because of destiny.

The sky cleared and I returned safely to you.
I saw you smile when I hugged you.
You could barely breath when I kissed you.
Thanks my darling for giving me the strength to go on even in the darkest and ugliest nights.

this is a really sweet poem. I liked the way you said that thinking of your darling kept you safe. Like their your gardian angel waiching over you to keep you safe. I really liked this poem

Great write. This reminds me much of a Bare Naked Ladies tune in which he crashes and watches what happens after his death - and says - 'The last the thing on mind is you' - which could be taken in several ways I suppose - I like to think of it as you portray it as the saviour here. Very nice write. Thanks for sharing.

A beautiful and powerful poem. We must overcome many things in a life. Always go forward and look for the good in the world. A excellent poem.
