Black Clouds
Blackened sky enveloped her
A storm fierce and unforeseen
Lashing out its vengeance
Shattering the serene
Yesterday she’d lingered
Embraced the sun upon her face
Dark clouds just a memory
Blue skies in their place.
Black clouds too familiar
She’d beckoned them for years
Determined to escape them
Weary of the tears
Renounced of self-destruction
Advent of light into her soul
Cherishing a new found warmth
In awe of being whole
Fingers of lightning strike her
Though guilty of no wrong
Flashes of the shackles
That bound her for so long
Stinging tears of stormy days
She’d positioned in the past
Blurred vision of the dream
Her sunny days would last.
