A tempest of water,thrashing at my faceA trickling stream,enjoying lazy daysA vast ocean,Dancing in the breezeA silent pondEncased by reedsA night-time’s stormLashing on the window paneA little girlDancing in the rain
A Poem – Sadness is a Storm
This poem was sent to us by one of our talented young readers, 14 year old Rebekah.
Sadness is a storm.
A clap of thunder,
As you howl and wail,
Yet through it all,
You still prevail.
Nothing withstands
The heart of the tempest.
Ominous clouds loom,
Lightning flashes.
Light still gets through.
It gives you a glimpse,
Of hope pure and true
All’s well once more,
With the subsiding of the storm.
