When the Storm Subsides
When the Storm Subsides
When strong winds dissipate, calmer skies appear
The torrential rainfall changing the atmosphere
Taking in all that Mother Nature provides
Sun tries to peak when the storm subsides
Droplets of rain dance on ladened tree leaves
Drenched soaked ground too much it receives
With pooled and puddled soil drenched abides
All taking place when the storm subsides
When people are fighting, causing each other harm
When the hatred stains the air, puts you in alarm
When it is finally all over and calmness resides
And all healing starts when the storm subsides
When everything you do seems to go awry
And frustrations and anger simply multiply
You look inwards to find where your love resides
To calm yourself until the internal storm subsides
There are certain themes that represent a storm
Be it atmospheric in nature that takes form
Or be it anger, hurt or despair that resides
Be ever so grateful when the storm subsides
