Hope
By Anna Wilson
Sheets of rain are pounding down;
relentless rhythm.
My hands are cold
but I feel warm.
There's a stray, lonely ray of light,
shining through a cloud of mist.
I breathe in cold,
and a rush of calm.
Thunder rolls through the ground,
showing the power in each flash.
Electricity is cold.
Energy rises through my body.
Sheets of rain are falling
in a heavy, slow rhythm.
My hands are cold,
but I smile; serenity.
