Something

Something

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Something is coming. 
I can feel it on the wind
A change is upon us
A change is at hand
The storm is coming
I can feel it in the air
A great change is coming
You have to beware
I can feel it coming
People are getting
Caught in the storm
Caught in the first
Winds and rains
Anchor yourself
Keep yourself
Strong my friend
There is still
Along way to go
Before we are fully
Clear of the winds
And the rains
It has only 
Just begun
We are in the
Midst of a new
Way of thinking
A new storm of
Ideas and thoughts
All colliding at once
Colliding and coalescing 
Into one great mass
A mass of crazy mess
And energy that is
Driving us mad
With its insanity
People are getting 
Lost in the mess
Lost in the storm
Lost to the dark
Allowing the 
Insanity to take
Over their hearts
Yet there are some
Who are also reaching
Higher heights
New ways of thinking
New ways of loving
Creating higher 
Connections with
Themselves and the Earth
Creating more open
And loving connections
With every one around 
Spreading the love 
And getting deeper 
Flying higher
Than they ever 
Have before 
You must get 
Yourself ready
The storm is upon us
The storm is here
The storm is now
We still have a long
Way for the storm to stop
But once it does
We will see a calm
A break in the storm
In the clouds like
We have never seen
A new light
A brand new 
Day
A stronger
Clearer
Brighter 
Way of
Thinking
Than we ever 
Thought 
Possible
Some people
Will inevitably 
Get caught up
In the initial storm
Getting caught in
The mess and 
The muck and mire
But if you can stay 
Strong and survive
You will sail above 
The storm
Flying into
Newer heights
Than you ever
Thought possible

Ahmad, this poem is truly amazing! I like the way you build tension into the poem, and then it subsides, only to rise again, and then fall- it is as if the storm is indeed brewing, and the wind is beginning to gust and the storm is strengthening. And you end with such a note of hope... rising above the storm! Excellent work.

Change begets changes. The more you write about it the more other's will think about it...Bravo Ahmad

Ahmad, for mr this is quite ironic for just last night my cousin and I were having a conversation about what you have writen here! What we concluded is that we are in very "stormy" times right now, yet it is also like the "dawning of a new consciousness." I am of middle age and he has about twenty years on me, but we both agree that the youth of today are much wiser then us older ones.
Yeah we older ones have made quite a mess of things, but hopefully this "storm' will wipe it all away so that the younger ones won't be stuck with our mess and so allow them to build a better world. A very enlightening read Ahmad, thank you!

Change is good...it keeps us on our toes. Gives us a sense that we can start of and all the things we messed up, we leave behind because no amount of anything will change it! I like this poem a great deal! I made me feel hopeful and excited :)

it makes me feel very strong energy, as if a vision for the future, or about special event, which is waiting us in the future! when i read , i feel little scared from the storm, i know many people should be strong and will be, some of them will be more protected, another not so much, as they can`t believe in their souls...that why we have to be so much prepared, the storm is coming and will be so long! u describe this so magnificent, sounds like prophecy...
wish the light to come on our way finally!!!
