Calm After The Rain Poem by Terry Biscamp

A long night ahead of me..
The sighs echo off the walls
Lights flickering off and on
As the storm outside calls.
Thunder shakes the house
Lightening lights up the sky..
The candles are already lit
As the mighty storm passes by.

Watching the candles flicker
Dancing in the dark..
Putting me in a trance..
Many thoughts to embark.
A sweeping of my soul..
Purging me of the pain
A time to settle things within..
Calm comes with the rain.

Thunder rolling in the distance
As time slows down for me
Sitting with my thoughts..
My spirit feels so free.
No burdens weighing
On this mind tonight
No discord in the air..
There is no inner fight.

Finding a new feeling..
In the calm after the storm
A new way of thinking
A new mind to transform.
The storm blew in so fast
And took with it my pain..
I sit here in tranquility,
In my calm after the rain.
