After the Storm

gloomy skies warned me
of the storm that would follow
as rain drops fell
i soaked myself in them

the raindrops cleansed my soul
washing away the pain

the storm passed
and rays of light
pushed through,
the clouds that were left behind

just as the new found strength within me
made me push through
the troubles of the past
and the confusion

the skies are clear now
and the road ahead covered with flowers

an occasional rain would come
but it won't be able to stop,
my journey on this new path
