The Light

I saw the clouds creep in, and obscure the light as the evening introduced, a stormy night and I longed for the morning and a sky without fright. I looked to the heavens, scared, and ready to morn searching for that, which would calm this storm and eliminate this pestilence, that had made its appearance and was suddenly born. I then laid my body down, to find sleep and rest from the turmoil and confusion, that I felt deep in my chest and in the morning, I opened my eyes gone were the clouds, and my internal unrest. The storm had disappeared, the sky was clear and the sun's shining light, had now eliminated my fear.
