Outside My Door

(Door Challenge)


The world is raging outside my door,
Storm pounding and surf rising,
Wild and fierce on this angry night,
The sky growls and blinks her eyes,
As lightening flashes across the sky…

The hair on my arms rises in response,
To all this powerful energy,
I am restless and moody,
Feel the need to run in this wild night,

Feel the rain lash my face and bare arms,
Sooth the fire that rages within-
Ah such power in this storm!
Flowing through my veins;

Electricity in the air making my hair stand on end,
My heart keeping pace with the rolling thunder-
I am night’s savage child,
Running on instinct only…

The meadow looms before me,
Long grasses swaying in obedience to angry god-
I raise my arms to the sky,
And lightning flashes in answer to my plea!

Thunder booms approvingly,
Driving me to my knees,
I laugh insanely at world gone mad;
This is true power!

In the blink of an eye your life can be changed,
And all the whining and bleating of lost sheep,
Can not bring it back again…


Look outside your door,
And see true power,
In the storms that rage across the sky!
