Storm

With darkness
Comes new light
New sight
Of all that is hidden
But constant
In the illusion of day.
I feel your presence
Like a blanket
Protective, never cloying,
A reassuring call
Of all unseen
But stronger than reality
The unreal reality
For you are constant, infinite
Beyond space and time
You carry us through physicality
Through the constraints of life and death.
The wind calls tonight
And I welcome her
No longer afraid of
Destruction, power
Interminable strength
I embrace creation
Life and energy
Removing boundaries
Of limitation and finite possibility.
I thank her for not disturbing the stillness
Whilst enjoying her storm.
With darkness
Comes new life
A secret visitor
Flourishing under the veil
Feeding on energetic silence.

You break the magic
With you unexpected arrival
The first daffodil to bloom amongst
Sleeping green
You colour my life
In an astonishing
And beautiful way
My own seed
Grown in my bare uncultivated garden
You have blossomed into
A miraculous tree
Whose fruits taste sweeter
Every day.
I want to hold you
To the wind
And show her your power
Our power
She will understand
For she tells me so
WIth every whispered breeze
And roaring gust.
You will fear her as I once did
But I will hold you to my heart
Until you are ready
To run into her embrace
And fly away on her
Sweeping song.
