Stormy Night

Jay Ford 1984 (Youngstown, Ohio)



The winds of change blow ever so furiously.
Torrential downpours wash away the old.
Violent lightning illuminates the sky as I stare curiously.
The storms end is something only seen by the bold.
It takes a warriors will to navigate this storm,
And a bleeding heart that's as hard as obsidian.
Do not be afraid, for you have been warned,
That at the end of fear lies oblivion.
