The wind blows mightily, echoing the sound of a million trumpets. The rain pours down continually, along with the lighting and thundering.

The storm has arrived, bringing along an unwanted surprise. No more power, but yet I still do not feel weak. My poetic soul is up lurking and it cannot sleep.

I was reminded of my adolescence, whenever this storm came through. My childhood friend was afraid of lighting, and to comfort him, I told him that it's just God taking pictures of you.

The lighting streaks are just flashes from his camera, so make sure that you say cheese. The innocence I once had as a child, is what I now desperately need.

It's funny how this storms seems to help me reflect, sometimes the world moves so fast, and I seem to forget.

Sometimes I need to focus and do away with all distractions. It's odd how the mayhem of the storm can take me away from my own madness.

I pray that this storm passes through, and that everyone will be alright. But I might admit, this storm has truly helped me see the light.

How ironic, because my power is out.
