Zeus’s storm
His beacons pierce night
Through clouds, thick
Unsettled
Poseidon balks, unamused
As lightning strikes deep

Once bright, turns to gray
Sun diminishes, fades away
Although I beg, it doesn’t stay
No desire, to keep me warm
Clouds scurry, across the sky
I watch them, as they race by
Darkness falls, tis then I cry
While shadows take their form
Hidden deep, but I can see
The anguish pent, inside of me
I let go, release, alas, misery
Knows nothing of the norm
Though try I might, I find no hope
Why is it that I cannot cope?
I’m holding on, yet, lose my rope
There is no calm before my storm

Fingers crawling, cross the sky
Grasping shadows, as they fly
Without care, they go awry
In the darkness, lights, adorning
When at last, the dawn of day
Awakens where it longs to play
It’s decided, it cannot stay
Gone quickly, before morning
Yet, to return, and start anew
Fingers twisted, turned, askew
And we know not what to do
Its evil deeds, suborning
Alas, the storm, is surely we
And we watch, but never see
What has become, of you, and me
Best to heed its warning

Beacon
Shines through
The stormy sea’s rage
A light in the dark, salvation
Refuge

The storm fits my mood
As thunder rumbles above

Much like me, this dreary day
Looks are deceiving
