You weathered the storm.
The rain fell each day
unfailingly
clouds gathered, blacked your eyes
blocked the light
The thunder cracked your bones
the lightning so strong it threw your body up and you hit the ground.
you cowered under shelter
hid from the wind but
it found you again.
No forecast, no warning:
just tumbles, rumbles
the sky screamed
the earth stood still
you’re sorry, you’re sorry
you did all you could to find the sun again
to disperse the darkening clouds
lighten the rainfall
it washed away everything
but
You weathered the storm.
