The Storm

The Storm

I walked so far into the storm

that I lost sight of the end.

I look into my eyes so worn

And see shambles all around the bend

I let the rain rush in

To try and put out the fire

Burning me with its grievous grin

But, trying to put it away, it only got higher

I let the water into my ship

And watched as I sunk,

Beneath the surface, losing grip

With myself, underneath and drunk

Caked on stupor and script

Drowning in idle escape

And sinking into the crypt

Stalling the life I could make

I walked right in to the thunder

Eyes fixed on the invisible sun

Hoping one day I’ll blunder

On to my road to run

In the flashes of light

I was ripped and torn

Thinking I could make it right

But in this deluge, is where I am born.
