micropoetry – Page 3 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Facing my storm

A storm faces me
Destruction; my own making
Irrational fears

Manic busyness
Sunlight slowly reclaims days.
January rains

Tomorrow’s calling
Trying to dance with the fog
Emptiness embraced

Sit, waiting for God,
Grasping tranquility’s joy.
Peacefulness transcends.

Strangely the night comes
Springing upon my workload
Exhaustion bites hard

Darkness expanding
Growing from hidden places
Sunlight fades anew

Staring from within
Push past fearful reactions
Outwards our focus

Clouds delight me so
Tranquility flowing forth
Dew drops glistening

Sunlight upon skin
Driving me to the outdoors
Promise of motion

Morning birds sparkle
Today, gently awakened
Songs greeting the dawn
