The sky is filled with clouds and rain <br />The ground trembles with its power <br />Each bolt of lightning lighting the night sky <br />Each minute counting down each hour <br />The fear is there within each heart <br />And hope flees with each passing thought <br />It seems that as hard as humanity tried <br />The struggles for peace were all for naught <br />In the distance the clouds are broken <br />The sun shines brightly through <br />And all the fear you've ever had <br />Is met by a peace so new <br />Each dropp of rain now falls as light <br />In a rainbow of hope and love <br />And each new bolt of lightning seems so dim <br />From the sun shining from above <br />The storm still surrounds your life <br />But, the light is shining still <br />Yearning ot reach your broken heart <br />With a peace that cannot be killed <br /> <br />((September 27th,2001))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-light-is-shining-still/
