Stormy Summer Poem by Heather Marie Mortimer

When my skies are dark I do not think of you
When my heart is weary and my soul soaked-thru
These flashes of lightning hold no memories
And no rage do I feel on these stormy seas.

But when the sun shines thru and blinds my eye
I see your shadow, the breeze brings your sigh
Your eyes were blue skies with soft clouds floating thru
Your arms warm as summer, your smile was too.

To weather storms without you I do not mind
But everything bright reminds me of what I had to find
So the darkness brings quiet, peace in the rain
It is my brightest pleasures now which bring me such pain.
