The Other Side Of The Storm

The thick smell of an oncoming storm fills my nostrils.
I feel it's heaviness and am consumed in its darkness
Like my mother's old name.

I make a wish I do not believe in.
My feet are stuck in deep mud
As if the rains had already come.

I danced with lightening many times and though it
Caught me with glancing blows over and over
I did not stop

And sometimes still it 
Draws me in with its thrilling flashes
Of brilliance till I succumb.

A false eye of peace sits in the centre
Telling me all is well and for my highest good.
I still smell the other side of the storm.
