Storm (Write 31 Days - Day 12)

How's this for irony? Day 11's word was "rest" on the day of rest (Sunday), Day 12's day is "storm" on a day when we wake up to a storm pounding at our house! :)  A day behind again but it's here - day 12!

Storm

Swirls and whirls of fallen leaves,

wind roaring ‘round the house.

Rain drops pound the walls,

            knocking on window panes

The storm rages outside.

Heart pounding in apprehension

anxiety grasping for a hold.

Tears threaten to break through

            knocking at the windows to my soul.

The storm rages inside.

But there’s a calm, a centre

            peaceful, reassuring

Strength fills, calms storms.
The storm quiets.
