Stormy Eyes

 

Rage in the hurricane

Of the eyes

Releases all the pain

The fragile clouds can handle.

Catch those droplets

In a measuring cup;

Not to determine

How much water fell

From that darkened sky,

But to remind yourself

How grateful you are

For the blessing of the storm.

Give the captured downpour

Freely to your angel

Thirsting to taste what you feel

So when they kiss your cheek

The lips are tender enough

To soften a hardened heart.

I always love songs and poems with storm imagery, and we have some good storms here, so I know they are healing and cleansing as you say.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes they certainly are, thank you Jennie.

Storms reform us. In this case the heart is softened. It is hard to live when your heart is encased and buried. This storm was a cleansing storm and we all need one of those once in a while.
