livin in the storm
so cold can’t seem to get warm
existing day to day
too tired to kick back and just play
wishes are just for no worries
but everyone has a story
some hit rock bottom in the middle of the night
some never surface again to see daylight
storms rage on deep inside their souls
hidden by smiles so nobody knows
others disappear from being judged and shamed
some stand on the sidelines and point at others to blame
everyone has a storm to ride
each needs a little shelter to hide
till the rain runs out of pain
and tears no longer their faces stain
thunder rolls out of sound that shatters
lightning strikes no longer burn to matter
livin in the storm
one day the sun will again warm
until then existing day to day
searching for a warm place for awhile to stay
each storm can come on in a blink of an eye
so if you would extend a hand or smile
you never know if that’s the sign everything will be alright
from losing hope in the middle of their soul’s stormy night

Wow. This really says it all. Staying in the storm is such a courageous thing to do. I love these words and thank you for writing them. Love and hugs, Brenda
Thank you Brenda…I needed your words today….
as I wrote this or as I heard this I should say,
I thought of the ones I know who are livin in the storm, that stay even when it would
be easier to go find someone to take care of their problems, their lives….
how sad to believe passion fades away…so its easier to be content in four walls with no breathe…
off my pulpit now…just one of those days livin in a storm
Take Care Brenda…love to you too…I hope y’all are well in your part of the world…
You Matter…

I think you must have been residing in my heart and spirit or something today…your words in this poem sum up where I am at so perfectly and today has been an especially bad day filled with fears and anxieties. It is so easy “to lose hope in the middle of their soul’s stormy night” sometimes and just one little sign that everything is going to be alright would mean so much at times. Thank you for understanding, without knowing you were understanding in my case! Although the storm of worry continues to boil the fact that I am on W/P tonight means that I am at least a little calmer for now and I am grateful for that or I wouldn’t have seen this beautiful heartfelt post
I hope you have a beautiful weekend and you do not have to contend with any inner storms but rather that you can be happy and at peace with your life and your world for this weekend at least x
deep within resides the Spirit of a wolf…your animal spirit I do believe
when we draw on the wolf, it gives us strength to head straight into the heart of the storm…
yes battered and bruised on the other side, but still walking our walk…
I am glad I helped without even knowing….as your words are felt more than you know…
I think we are all contending with inner storms….I just let those whispers guide me through mine and nobody is the wiser…
Take Care…You Matter….
