Peaceful Storm
Forced to reflect and reminisce on your life during this ghostly night
Overflowed with emotions of sadness and longing, yet still mostly fright
No hopeful light can squeeze it's way through the clouds, not a day of cheer
It's been two years; I wish you'd just appear. I pray that you are here
Lay near me, clear me of my worries, just grasp and clench my brain
For I am soaked in the tears of nature and my own, I am drenched in pain
The entrenched rain and darkness leaves me in solitude, I ponder in thoughts
I squander the clock, time ticks by as I aimlessly wander the blocks
I am lost. In silence I mourn, it's impossible, I cant find my way home
In the shadow of the violent storm....................................I am alone
As the storm rages, seconds seem like ages, I'm searching for a sign
The sights of trees bowing in the wind remind me of your hurting spine
An alerting shine diverted my mind and eyes to the sky for a while
For as the lightning stretched across, I was reminded of you're smile
As the light fades away, a new image seems to form and take its place
In the storm the grey clouds had formed a distinctive image of your face
And in the falling rain, I see the sadness when you were laid to rest
I am reminded, as the streetlights glow, of the heart beneath your chest
I can see you're aging form, oh Lord I pray that you can see me too
In the insecurity of the raging storm....................I can see you
I miss your consistency for caring; I remember how you used to pamper me
I can sense you're longing, for in the rain you're sadness dampens me
Answer me this one question, will you watch me and bring me no harm?
A sign of response, as the wind blows; I can feel you touching my arm
The ghostly clutch alarms, it lightly presses expressing you're vintage
And as I enter a cluster of fog, I can feel your phantasmal image
Have I finally found you? Have I discovered what I deeply sought?
And with the eye of the storm just overhead, I sensed I was being watched
My life is but tragically norm, for one night I wish I could heal you
In the craziness of this magical storm.................I can feel you
You were here, but so suddenly you disappeared, now I'm left scowling after
And as the wind violently blew, I was reminded of your howling laughter
Startled I jump as the thunder cracks, it's close so I'm assuming there's danger
But my mind is set to ease, for now I miss your voice, even booming with anger
With the cool breeze, from nearby trees I can hear a rustle in the leaves
And then I know you're using them, for I can hear you whisper to me
In the near distance I can hear, the flailing chimes ringing a wonderful noise
And I am instantly reminded of you, when you're singing your wonderful voice
In a flash, lightning is born; your supernatural presence makes me fear you
In the terror of the frightening storm......................I can hear you
With this spiritual night surrounding me, I am forced to reflect on you
And now that I look back on the times, I fear that I may have neglected you
Rejected you, and it pains me to think that I didn’t get to know you well enough
But now that you're gone I miss you, and your absence is making life tough
It's rough, but even out in the cold, for some reason I feel I'm at home
And even though I'm consumed in loneliness, I feel that I am not alone
I felt as though I was falling through space, but you lifted me and helped me dangle
You're presence is evident, and now I understand, that you're my guardian angel
All night I sit on the streets and mourn, until finally, it hits me
In the comfort of this peaceful storm.................I know you're with me
R.I.P Grandma. I miss you.
