Dark Clouds

Dark storm clouds gather in the distance
Natures beauty, so beautiful but ominous
The clouds swirling in circular dance
Bring the heavens closer to Earth
Destroying everything in its’ path
The horizon darkens as does my vision
Decreasing with each passing moment
The wind becomes sharp and brisk
I sit peacefully, like a deer in the headlights
Unknowing of my impending destruction
With arms wide open, accepting, welcoming
Whatever comes next
The wind destroys all it comes across
Bringing with it a chance for change
The land takes a new form
As do I … evermore
Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this when my life was in complete turmoil. It was in contemplation of taking my own life, while also contemplating the rebirth that comes after great destruction.
