Bittersweet Release Poem by Danny Speicher

Clouds roll in, black, full of desperation
Slowly been rolling in for quite some time
A dropp of memories here and then there
Drizzle reminding the heart, life's not fair

The clouds looked ominous and bleak above
The droplets fell like anvils on the soul
But, as the heavens opened the floodgates
There was a bittersweet release of fate

For all the things that once were striven for
Were suddenly washed away in the flood
And all those big dreams that once were so near
Beneath the storms gale, they soon dissappeared

One could be angry at such a sad plight
And one could sadly lament of this pain
But, odd enough, a bittersweet release
Has entered and granted this lonely peace
