-~-~-~-

I lay awake unaware and still

While outside the night sky trembles

A long awaited storm has come

Both to nature and my emotions


The rumbling outside

matches the unknowing rumbling

pounding within my heart

The uncertainty of this "relationship" flashes

like the flaming lightening

illuminating the blackened sky

If tears could form in my eyes,

they would dance onto my face

as the rain skitters on my window pane


I rest my head on my pillow,

waiting... hoping... wishing,

as the storm moves onward

to continue its restless journey
