The Storm

The dark night consumes even the best.
Puts the ones brave enough to a test.
To see who will face their fears.
Daybreak doesn’t come fast enough.
Separates the weak from the tough.
Makes people open up their ears.

The dark water swallows us all whole.
Leaving all thoughts lost and untold.
To see who listened all along.
Fire doesn’t kill the pain.
Just sets everything dry aflame.
Blurs the lines of right and wrong.

Storms come and pass right through.
Making everything look brand new.
The calm before the tempest scares us all.
For it doesn’t guard that which will fall.
All we can do is wait for a new day.
The sun letting us know it’s all okay.
