Storm
The sky lit up.I sit here watching the clouds fight.
I realise here and now,
That this will be my life.
Watching sparks fly
Watching myself cry
Watching drops fall
Irresistibly cold,
Dark but for candle light,
And the sudden angry flashes
Stark rage
One after another
Again and again
Over and over
Always bigger, louder.
Then sudden stillness.
The sky rages no more.
The storm is gone.
All but my mind is calm.
I sit here watching the clouds calm.
Of light there's none.
Just dark and darker.
The rain falls still.
The candle is out.
The wax is cool.
My hands are wet.
The world spins.
Its time.
I can no longer wait.
I must sleep.
The anger can wait.
It will be there.
Tomorrow.
Forever.
Distilled and pure.
