The Storm
A flash of lightning
A crash of thunder
The beauty of it all envelopes my soul
My mind wanders through my past
Lingers on the present
Dreams of my future
I have no regrets
The joy
The pain
The happiness
The tragedy
I embrace it all
Because whatever "they" may think of my life
Every moment I've lived, made me who I am
And I love who I am
My life is like this storm
Perilous and beautiful all at once
And while I long for the calm after the storm
I enjoy the lightning
I cherish the thunder
And wait for the beauty I know it brings
My life has had lots of lightning
Lots of thunder
Storm after Storm
Perilous and beautiful all at once
I am the calm
and the storm
The beauty of it all--
Is me
