Yesterday's Storm
For All Who are Weary

An ocean of stars splashed across the sky,
your breathing rests after deepest sigh.
The current of life was strong today,
drowning seemed a breath away.
There is a tired behind your eyes;
a wistful smile is a mere disguise.
Your shoulders carry the weight of the day;
you feel there’s nothing left to say.
You think you’re lost, but you’re not lost;
the tide was deep and your heart got tossed.
When you’re at the end of who you think you are,
show me every mark and every scar.
Then dig deep, find your heart’s voice
that whispers you still have a choice.
Rest then rise like the phoenix reborn.
Tomorrow’s dawn eases yesterday’s storm.
Beautiful poem. I feel a bit like a phoenix reborn. I started my trip with so much anxiety and then something changed and I started anew.
I've had so much support, encouragement and advice that has helped me through my most anxious and it helped me so much. Thank you Cathey. 💖
Cathey great piece of writing. It has really resonated with me deeply as we all go through different . storms in our lives, mine was that of grief. It hasn’t been easy for me the past year since the passing of my parents. There are days that I can’t keep going, I may be smiling and trying to keep it all together but my eyes always say a different story!! I’m lucky to have people in my life who are there for me to support and encourage me to keep going. Keeping busy also helps !! Thank you 🙏💜
