poem \"After the Storm\"

After the Storm --04.06.03 Sunday--
Can't you see, all that I was;
Trapped inside, lost what I was;
Wished for understanding, got lost inside;
Hurricane roared on, smashed all that couldn't hide.
Rapture and temptation, caught up in the moment;
Forgotten for awhile, pain rushed to the surface.
All that was buried deep inside
caught up with the incoming tide,
And sought to bury the sun.
Moonlight shined in on the storm;
Wicked whispers and haunting images
rained down on the rock beach.
Thunderclouds clashed as lightning struck at the sky;
Puncturing the hopes that had always drifted by.
Winds calmed as the storm's eye covered the beach,
Enveloping it in the heavy quiet.
All stepped out from their shelters
as the moon bathed them in its trust;
Letting all know they weren't alone in their angst.
Caution is thrown to the wind,
And emotions are sought to unbend;
While the calm enveloped the pain,
As the stars shined on in the rain.
Thunder subsides as emotions confide,
Starting a path towards the oncoming tide.
Lost is found as all buckle down,
Preparing for the parting storm.
Sunrise deepens the shadows,
As truth now finally matters;
And I see all that I am,
And know that some distant path beckons.
I find strength around me,
And prepare for the storm's second coming;
Motioning for a quiet peace.
Remembering all that is inside,
I face the new dawn with less to hide,
While the winds ruffle the oncoming tide.
