TempestA Poem by Joshua Daniel
In a cathedral of trees
my feet plant heavily I drew in breath to speak and out you came from me I felt our time run out I saw it in the leaves A great storm on the wind that brought me to my knees My heart beat with the thunder my feet struck like lightening I fled with newfound wonder my vision tightening The sky rang like a bell and the deluge swelled the river And as my faith it fell the trees began to shiver The gusts tore up their root and carried them away Although the choice was moot I plunged into the fray I cursed out at the gale called out above the din But I couldn't pierce the veil my plea just couldn't win And then there came a quell From clouds the sun was freed I sat there on a hill Only a little seed. © 2016 Joshua Daniel |
