picture of dark clouds text reads STORMStorm

 

Before the storm the lights are brighter

The noise increases 

The air is heavy

 

My muscles contract with every lightening

My blood runs fast

My limbs are restless

 

Inside my body my bones ache

The tension increases

Control starts to fade

 

Darkness falls 

Heavy water comes down

But I can’t fell it

For my senses are shut

 

For a while all is silence

The body so heavy 

Fighting is fruitless

So I wait until the storm is over

 

The buzzing in my head occupying the silence

 

Slowly the storm leaves

The senses come back

Muscles and bones are functioning again

 

But the storm left behind debris that need removal

So I stand with resolve 

And start my own recovery

 

The storm is over

My body is tired

But my brain is already healing 

And I smile again
