Illusions

The thunder claps my window ajar.
Like never before, it seems to rain.
Look, the wind slaps the curtains like spar.
It seems, even they can feel my pain.

Into the storm I must go
For I have things to do.
The comfort of my so-called "home"
Must be left alone for a few.

The travel has been weary enough.
I've had my share of trials.
There can't be any more things rough.
They say, "Destination was just a guile."

They told me of a reward, much like
A pot of gold at the end of a 'bow.
I forgot, real rainbows have only, light
Waterdrops that finally drown below.

Do not save the best for the last.
The storm falls like a blanket on my torch.
It is blowing it out far too fast.
So, I may not last that long.
