Sorrow Poem by Justin Reinalda

Sorrow is an ocean

In the silence waves hit



I see flashes of light

But not enough to stay lit



Happy strikes like lightning

But thunder follows soon



Clouds hide the light

I cannot see the moon



The tide is high

And it sweeps me under



I look up and see

Lightning before the thunder



I am treading water

But the current is so strong



If I take a break

I fear I won't last very long



It's dark and I'm lost

Which way to the shore?



I just don't know

If I can tread anymore



It's so cold and heavy

It's dark all around



Maybe if I last 'til morning

I will be found
