Rain Storm

Rain Storm 

Flash of lightening 

roll of thunder 

still I step out 

the sky is grey and moody

yet to me 

there is something

peaceful in it 

Another Roll of Thunder 

I feel the drops of rain 

first on the top of my head

then all over my body 

penetrating my clothes 

I am wet 

but I feel beautiful

Another Roll of Thunder 

I look into the sky

to feel the rain 

on my face 

to thank Heavenly Father

for the gift 

what others call disagreeable whether

I find joy and peace in 

Another Roll of Thunder 

I love the silence 

of a million rain drops

falling to the ground

hitting leaves 

along the way 

the storm has calmed

my storm within my soul

Another Roll of Thunder 

Some of my fellow beings 

look and stare 

at the girl walking in the rain 

with the serene smile 

though they do not 

know none can know

my secret the truth 

I walk in the rain because of him 

The Silence Trilogy

These are some of my poems and a recent painting I did as a visual repersentation of my orginal poems. The Poems are all from my teen years and early twenties, however all very recently revised. So I hope you all enjoy

Shadows Of Silence 

I do not hide 

in ordinary shadows 

I hide in the shadow of silence

My own silence 

self consuming silence 

No one hears 

the words in my mind

words I would speak

yet no courage was I given

So I remain in the shadows of silence. 

The shadow of silence 

all consuming silence 

swallows my word 

my song my voice 

my smile my heart 

The shadows of silence 

has swallowed everything 

No light penetrates 

nothing penetrates 

my shadow of silence. 

The Sound Of Silence 

The sound of silence in my mind 

more deafening than a thousand screams 

waiting for words to trickle 

from the top of my mind 

to the tip of my pen 

where the ink will seep out

to the clean white sheet 

till it forms sentences 

and paragraphs 

until then the sound of silence

screams in my ears 

screaming the words 

unformed and unable to be 

finished 

There Is Silence Once Again

There is silence again 

consuming silence

light cannot penetrate 

the silence 

I am alone in the solemn night

no place to rest 

my weary head 

no hand 

to hold my lone hand 

will joy ever find me 

will my heart ever find 

a place to trust and love 

the silence

has come a fog deep 

upon my eyes 

within my soul I find darkness 

noting gets in or 

out from the silence
