Seeing storm clouds gather,
Bumping into each other,
Mixing,
Combining,
Creating a shield against the sun.
Leaving us in the dark,
Protecting our eyes,
Giving the plants a break.
Promising us all rain,
Posing a risk to our lives,
Warning us to be careful.
Waiting,
Tensing up,
Knowing that the light is coming,
Hearing nothing but silence.
Crack!
Rumble!
I let out a breath amidst the rain.
The storm has finally arrived.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Lovely. I've just been for a walk in a storm (not on purpose), but I could feel that the weather just needed to let go. Pressure released.
It's like when the emotions get to heavy to keep it all in. So it rains. Loved your beautiful poem!
Very nice
Love the imagery! Beautifully written.
