In The Storm

In The Storm

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

In The Storm

 

The clouds weigh heavily again

As lightning glows from within.

Peeking out from corners,

Aware of unspoken borders

 

Striking in blows,

The current it knows.

Reaching the divide,

In the storm there’s nowhere to hide.

 

Thunderbolts of desire

Flash through my sky higher and higher.

So much I wish

I could accomplish.

 

I can see in the distance

The dance I wish to dance,

Yet my legs refuse to move.

In the storm am I my ow muse.

 

For I dream in spite of myself,

Counting it as a certain wealth.

Living through my heart,

Though I may never impart.

 

Will the clouds cease? Will the thunder ease?

I know not the answer to these.

But let my dreams be born

Even in the storm.

The poem filled with energy and struggle.
"Will the clouds cease? Will the thunder ease?
I know not the answer to these.
But let my dreams be born
Even in the storm."
The above lines are true. Thank you Melinda for sharing the excellent poetry.
