Rain

Falling lightly upon my window

Drumming out the memories

Of storms past

Lightning flashes

Illuminating the still darkness

Casting shadows on my conscience

The past winds of turmoil

Tear through a forest of serenity

Leaving devastation in their wake

My mind is torn by past wars

As the darkness rages within

As the rain falls swiftly upon my shoulders

I run from my past

The cold harsh winds whip my back

I run endlessly

With the shadows at my side

Always watching

Waiting for my mind to weaken

To crumble…

I shall stay the darkness…..

For how much longer….

I ask the wind…
