The shadow of clouds

Inside the sky

Gun metal clouds

Keep the rain at bay

Pregnant with the storm of healing energy

Our aching soul and planet needs

While deep inside

We feel the pressure build

Of every single emotion

That lies unfelt

Stormy skies become the reason

You wish to flee

This particular season

One in which

Mother earth has led

Your entire being

To the precipice of fear

And when the tears come

Are they only for what is passing

Or do you shed them

To remove the mask

From all you felt

For storms inside tell the story

Of a life

Hidden

Only as it threatens to burst

At the seams

Every single part of your soul

That lives unloved here

Concealed deep within

The shadow of clouds
