Storm... Poem by Dustin Bradley

On a distant horizon, a darkness creeps,
As the cloud masts take their form;
The proud sun replaced by a bitter fog,
And the cold consumes the warm;
Subtle, a breeze, that gently skipped,
Is now a pulsing wind;
Churning up an ocean froth,
While tree tops twist and bend;
The storm that brews within our hearts,
And keeps us from our dreams;
Emotions tip our balanced scales,
With nothing as it seems;
Waves begin to rise and fall,
They surge along the shore;
Bursting upon the heavy rocks,
The rain begins to pour;
Our scales now tip the other way,
As logic seems to clear;
We look upon decisions made,
Regret combined with fear;
Flashes light the dark beyond,
As Thunder fills our soul;
Time is all that's left behind,
These forces take their toll;
Back and forth, push and pull,
A curse we now must bear;
Alone a ship with single crew,
And no one left to care...
