The storms of life are soon to rage
but now 'tis calm and still.
A moment for the deepest breath,
renewing of the will.
For morn' will find those wicked winds
in gales to rend the soul
come blowin' with the rising sun
and taking bitter toll.
The stars dance in the winter skies,
I relish in the peace.
So soon the clouds will gather near
and all their hell release.
Let this be now my time of rest,
these hours before the blow.
To sleep, to dream of heaven's quiet
before fates wrath, I know.

You should enter this in that contest for April writes... it's got perfect meter and flawless rhyme. Besides, not that I'm judging it, but whatever, I love the idea of calm before the storm. Another great write, dear. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

Hey buddy, long time no see!
If we could all write as good as you books would be fruitless because beuty would spill from our lips... It is a wonderful poem... and kinda funny for someone to think of because it didn't stir any emotion but mysticism in me... the title caught my eye though... Righteous right! Woopah!
