A storm shattered the quiet of the night
the calm still air broken by gusts of wind
bringing a deluge of rain in beating
against the house to run in sheets
down the window panes
but the morning breaks and with it
sun shining,, patches of blue sky
the remains of puffy white clouds
the storm merely a harbinger
of good things to come
bringing change in its’ wake
for change is the herald, the messenger
of hope and of promise radiant
in showing that in each new day
there will always lie the beginnings
of new things
as rays of sun light the paths well tread
there will be another cross roads
down which a new path will be taken
and life will move forward
once again
