I don’t need a meteorologist telling me what I already feel coming…
the storm approaching makes me shiver with its coldness.
Warning signs tear my eyes with the harsh winds blowing.
Charting its course has been time consuming,
yet I have waited anxiously for it to arrive…
and be done with~
this whirlwind causing turbulence to the innocent.
~
Though I fear the evil bolts that strike
and the shock that may come with them,
the flutter from your electricity is what keeps me alive~
with its positive charge, in a negative situation.
Though the chill of unknown makes me shudder,
it is the warmth of your blanketed clouds
that tightly wrap~
reminding me all will be ok.
Though the earth may quake underfoot,
causing upheaval in all aspects of my life,
I quiver with thoughts of your touch~
knowing you will be the calm after my storm.
For in this squall, I may walk alone,
but it is toward you I fall.
In the twister's view,
you are the one to lift my spirits.
When the torrent comes,
your coat of arms will be all I need
to shield me from pounding hail I now live in.
Because of you…
my prediction of the sun always winning
will be confirmed.
Its smile will brighten the saddest sky
making its yellow combine with blue,
producing green of a new life~
and reflecting hope from my own eyes
into the heart of one I love.
Yes, then we will be together...
already prepared for future storms that may brew,
for we’ve weathered a lot already~
splashing in puddles of each other’s pain,
until caring and concern evaporated every drop…
protecting hearts with honest shelter,
until love developed into rainbow’s covenant.
And so, for you...
for us~
hope in a soft shower, I will assure…
faith in the sun’s warmth, I guarantee…
love in kisses riding the breezes, I promise...
the forecast is clear.

ya... through storms i'm finding that i have to rely on others, especially God, of course... but i have always been pretty self reliable as far as getting through stuff. now i realize that there are those God sends to me, to be there when things get bad, and be there when the storm is over to celebrate more than ever imagined... a growth in friendship and trust. sorry... i guess i like to ramble, even in my responses to comments... jeesh! thanks for your comment, btw.

Hmmmm...don't really care about the contest or even if you win. After reading your poem, I think you have already won. Yes the storm is coming and it will pass as you fall toward the serenity of a calm clear day. I agree with you...I think the forecast is very bright for you...

*splashing in puddles of each other’s pain,
until caring and concern evaporated every drop…*
ok, the entire metaphor was phenomenal, but i must admit these two lines jumped out at me. they were sooo unique! i liked the whole poem, and i feel bad about singling out the part that has to do with pain, but the wording was really different. i liked this piece alot, and i definately think it deserves to win gold. i love the ending by the way, it was perfect. awesome job!!
