UMU 02: The Storm

 I wake from my slumber. 

Two things I see. 

A roaring sadness of Earth. 

Every strobe of lightening is a heart tendon ripping. 

Oh the  indomitable thunder deafening with anguish. 

Rain, flooding every road that can be seen for miles. 

The clouds filled with nothing but heartache. 

Then there's you. 

But there is not a you. 

Gone. 

I don't remember when you left. I don't remember this super storm. 

This bed has never felt bigger than it has now.

Nor has it felt so lonely now. 

Waking to a thunderstorm . Waking from my slumber. How long have we trudge this chaos? 

How long have I allowed us to endured this? 

The thunder shouting it's too late. 

The rain has kidnapped her.  

The rage filled lightening striking before me preventing me from following. 

The clouds color the world pitch black. 

The rain drowning the world. Swallowing everything that can be seen. 

I will not drown. I will build a raft. A boat. A plane. I will find you again. I will find the eye of the storm.
