Impending Storm

A storm is coming
I can smell it in the air
Turbulent clouds all around
Grey pink black and blue

The sun is hiding out today
Scurrying begins the dark clouds
A storm is coming
I can smell it in the air

My chest feels tight
The words stuck somewhere
Anger hurt love mad
All mixed around inside me

A storm is coming today
I can feel it within me
Words tears emotions high
A torrential outpouring coming through

Rain drops fall down my sill
Thunder and lightning sizzle nearby
A storm is coming today
I can see it all around me

A flash of lightning
Something is on fire
I smell the smoke and hear the sirens
I hope everyone’s safe

Soon it’s calm again
I see dark skies
The lightning and rain are almost gone
The storm has made its way

I’m waiting for the sun to rise
For the clouds to transition out
The storm is gone
Inside and out...
