The Silver Lining

I’m really beginning to think
that there is no silver lining.
We are all grasping blinding
for something beyond realism.

Seeking to find illusions
in distance paths
only to find vast emptiness,
despair.

Will lighting strike,
will thunder follow,
where will you and I
be tomorrow?

Embracing the storm
or quavering with fears
petrified on the path
of yesterdays dreams?

Does lighting strike twice in the same place?


(With my luck, no doubt, it will!)

It is strange how all good things come in time...and when you are not looking or when you least expect it...you need only to keep your eyes open when it does appear...for if one looks too hard...one may miss it

Great write...perhaps it would if you stood in the same place, but we human animals don't do that...;-)

Hi Tracey.
Its me again,I think your poem begs a question,Are you a person who says the glass is half empty,or a person who says the glass is half full.
All the best,
Morchuis

The silver lining is found in the way we allow circumstance to drive us.... Or NOT. Good one

Wonderful write Tracey. Lightning will strike again and again as long as we're optimistic about it and welcome it anytime.. :)
