Storm

Ashanti Blackman Sometimes you wonder if the storm is over But yet another gust of wind appears The severity of the rain is overwhelming your very being The wind is blowing from all directions causing you to not know which way to go. You try to run from it, but its pouring everywhere You look for a tree or covering to run from it, but it still drenches you You realize that the only way to get through it is to face the storm and get where you need to go The longer you try to hide beneath is the longer it takes to reach your destination Some storms last long and others at a shorter time You never know how long you have to endure the storm, but you must be equipped for it The essence of patience and redemption is the key to your destiny
