Yes a storm is brewing –

yeah there’s already one

knocking on the doors and

wrapping on the window panes –

 

I’m sure you’ve heard the warnings

but in every Pandora’s box was

all about hope not the monsters

and I’d like to think you understand

 

that if you’re reading poetry.T

he hope -the silver linings –

the little miracles are all

so much more valuable than

the worry, the fears, or

the demons pretend to be

 

and the sooner you embrace thatt

he more likely you are to

live the life you keep telling

yourself you will. And there is

a certain tint of artistry

that can only be utilized

by those who recognize

when they have been moldedb

y the storm to such a degree

 

that they in turn become it.
