Calm in a Raging Storm

Oh

Would you look at that

The rain is falling

And there's a light show up above

Illuminating the sky

Oh how enchanting it is

How enchanting to see such wonders happening in the sky

Oh

Can you hear that

The pitter patter of raindrops on the tin roof

Calming me so

And the gentle rumble

Roaring through the sky

Oh how soothing to hear the euphonious sounds

Oh

How the storm feels in your chest

How all the different noises vibrate through your body

It’s such a strange

Yet pleasant feeling

Oh how great the rain feel on your skin

And how great the cold air smells

I just love the breeze

And how it reminds me of the seas

Just like the lapping ocean tide

And how it makes me want to lay on my side

And get just a little ounce of rest

An ounce of rest to allow me to breath

Breath once more

Oh how I long for a storm

Just so I can sit and think

Feel the cool breeze on my body

Oh how I need time for peace

So I can just be

Calm in a raging storm

All the Little Things

When I was younger I never brought much thought to all the things that life provides, for what was I to know, I didn't put much thought to anything. When I was younger all I wanted to do was spend all day having fun. I never appreciated the things that really mattered, but that's okay because that's normal for a kid, but when I grew older it hit me harder than I could ever imagine. Oh how clueless I was. I started to learn what it was like to lose everything I never even knew I loved. I learned what true sadness was. I learned how suffocating depression was, and I began to think it would never end. A full four years feeling life just hated me, it truly was hell. But then, one faithful day, she released me from her unloving arms, the depression that is, and I never felt so complete.

I quickly learned the Beauty of Life. I discovered that I love the beauty of nature, and all that it provides. I found that I love the way the birds sing songs and make me feel at home.I realized how the calming breeze kisses your skin on a hot summer day and how amazing it feels.

And I came to love the way the trees dance with such rhythm. I began to truly appreciate the small things in life and vowed to myself to never let these things go unnoticed. That was of course until life decided to start hitting me again.

I discovered true fear once life began to hit me again. Paranoia struck and I thought maybe, just maybe, depression would pay me another visit. But I thought back to the promise I made myself. Never let the small things in life go unnoticed. Appreciate everything that comes my way. So I did. I fought, for the only things that truly matter are the little things that constantly provide for you, and keep you alive. Things like the comfort your family provides you, or the breath-taking smile of a loved one. Oh I really love music. I love the enchanting sounds it makes, and the emotions that emanate from the strings of a guitar. I love the story the singer shares, for everyone to listen to. Everything said and done I love the beauty of living. I love the little things that life provides you.
