It's A Cycle

written July 25, 2010
Today when the storm came threw germantown something told me to get out there and run in it. So I did. I found a path through some woods and I took it. After I got home I had alot of thoughts in my head about what i had seen and heard out and I felt like I needed to write it down. This is what came out, pure stream-of-consciousness no breaks or edits or going back over words.This is the first time in over 5 years Ive written any form of poetry and I'm hoping more comes after this

The skies part,
what has been known as the heavens appear to open up

Cars crash, sirens in the distance,
light is scarce, people panic in the unknown.

What's known is the SOUNDS.

Crackling thunder, [laughing at the world beneath it]
howling winds and trees screaming in pain on their way to the earth.

It's a cycle.

and in the middle of it all, racing neck and neck with the now full flowing and healthy rivers,

I find peace.
