The sky is dark and gray All is silent except for a few cracks of thunder The darkness is briefly interrupted by lightning The lightning is powerful and deadly It's deadly, yet it is beautiful It takes away all the darkness It engulfs the sky in brightness Then it's gone I stand and watch I wait for the lightning to come back I wait and watch as it destroys the darkness I watch as it destroys the gloom I listen as the thunder destroys the silence Then it is all over It becomes dark and silent again All of a sudden, I hear raindrops falling to the ground The rain falls on me with ease The raindrops cover my body As if they were cleansing my soul The rain is falling with grace The sun slowly pokes out from the darkness The sunshine annihilates the darkness The sky is no longer black with gloom The sky is not blue either Instead, the sky is golden Golden from the overwhelming sunshine There are no clouds in the sky Except for one The one I am watching from
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem because I was soul searching. I decided to write about nature because it was my inspiration. I'm a 17 year old girl with a lot of different feelings inside. This poem was one to release my thoughts of death. It puts my soul at rest with the rest of the world when I read it to myself.
