Emerging Future

Ravaging storm of future roars

rivers of cascading rain pouring

damp souls and flooding thoughts

cascades of lightning striking

dissonant thunder threatening

cyclone of sorrow twirling

crushing wind flattening core.

And I alone, curled up in a ball

hiding from blackened fate

looming to destroy my essence.

Destiny is in my hands, stretching

to embrace new vista of light

sun unfolds like burnished cocoon

shining on promising future

I grasp new rays and emerge

new tomorrow of sunshine.
