Storms Don't Stop For You

FORWARD

This collection of poems, tidbits, and snippets are words that I string together in both my happiest and saddest of times. I know that those of you reading can probably relate. I've found that there is a process to healing. I know that sometimes you move forward just to move backwards again. This book, is me moving backwards, sideways, and up the walls all in an attempt to move forward.
I have chosen to name the chapters (mostly) after natural disasters because that's what we are. We are all storms and catastrophes waiting to happen. I also think that these represent the process of healing, grieving, and living.
The Wind represents the whirlwind of thoughts that overwhelm us at random points, when we are trying to sleep, or sometimes with our friends in a room full of people.
The fire, is everything emotional. It's love that works and love that doesn't. It's hate, it's anger, and its excitement.
The Silence is healing, it's the calm after the storm (or sometimes in between them), and it's the time to think.

I hope you find yourself in these words. Find your own meaning in them. Paint your own picture. All in all, I hope you are healing.

I hope you enjoy this book.
