Poem Commentary

Just the feelings when in a prolonged illness that you just can't seem to break free of.

Inside Storm Clouds

Life is hard when your health is poor

When your strength is sapped to its very core

And you rest all day yet you still need more.


When your state of mind has sunk down real low

Because around each bend is another blow

Like your trapped deep down in the undertow.


Though you try your best to hold on real tight

Keep your chin up high and keep up the fight

Everything gets dark for the coming night.


Month after month year in year out

After all your battles still you’ve lost each bout

No wonder all you can see is doubt.


You just need a break to recoup your strength

Just some sweet relief before your soul does faint

So with happiness you can re-acquaint.


Thus the winds must change and the tides must turn

So keep up the faith so you’ll someday learn

When the silver lining in the clouds return…

then Sunshine!

Thank you Luna. I wrote this and a few others to try to encourage others going through real tough times of illness to demonstrate that they are not alone and to keep the faith. Blessings, Whiskers

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
