To Calm the Raging Storm Within

To Calm the Raging Storm Within

On a dark rainy night,
I sat listening in silence,
as the storm raged overhead.
The mighty wind blew
branches to the ground
and scattered leaves in every direction.
And then suddenly,
it calmed.
The droplets of water that fell,
slowed their quickening,
and the wind calmed to
a gentle breeze in the cool night air.

And in that moment,
as rain trickled down from my hair,
and rolled into eyes,
and the wind gently caressed my cheek,
like the kiss of a forgotten loved one,
I knew a completeness beyond discription,
for such peace defies words alone.

There I stood,
as the calming of
the raging storm outside
calmed the calamity of emotion
that raged within my heart.
In that moment,
a hole within my heart was healed
and I wept.


Author's Notes: Mother nature can duplicate so many of the raging torrents of emotions that pour through our own souls. And if you open your heart to her, she can calm the raging storm within, as easily as any raging storm from without. The Goddess walks in all aspects of life, all you must do is open your eyes and view the world in all of its magnificent glory. Peace be with you all!
