Storms of Life

It finally came 
The choice was made 
The anger found strength 
To turn into rage 
And the waves began to build 
Hitting the shore again and again 
Until one day it seemed there was 
Nothing, just nothing left.

The storms of life had played thier role 
Had thier way and taken a toll
Pieces of what was 
were now 
Scattered to be claimed 
Sometimes in hurt, sometimes anger 
Sometimes with tears
... of remembering.

Walking away from the scene of 
Destruction 
Lingering memories start fading 
Buried beneath 
the rage of the storm 
Beneath The bitterness of the aftermath 
....until one day...
Its just a place of the past.

Life moves on, in just enough ways 
To comfort the mind...
Distractions from pain
Until one day a visit back 
Reveals it's just not there 
No hope to rebuild  
Not even a reflection 
to Hold for a moment 
to reminisce 

Then reality Strikes the soul deeply 
It was just a storm...
Many had come before,
It could have been rebuilt...
Stronger more pure.
Yet pieces have been taken 
Lives removed 
There's nothing left to reconnect to 
And the heart is...
Once again broken.
...
washed away 
By life's storms.
