Peace
Peace
In the darkest of nights
In the pelting rain
In the screaming thunder, and the blinding lightning
In the deepest storm
In the strongest wind
In the shadows of the fog, that cloud my day
In the most depressed morning when the sun refuses to show its face, and the moon can’t seem to go away
In the darkest of times I find the biggest comfort of peace
How can I find silence when the storms around me are roaring
How can I feel bright when the world around me is so dark
How can I be stable when the trees outside are shaking
How can my mind be so clear when the air is thick and the fog clouds my vision
When mother nature is at her busiest time I find a way to slow my mind
My thoughts come to a halt
And my brain can take a deep breath after a long day at work
I close my eyes for a brief moment and let the gears shut down
I wonder if mother nature lifts the weight of a hard time off my shoulders
I wonder if she suffers so that I can have a moment of tranquility
I silently thank her for the act of selflessness
It is not only my mind that is tranquil
Tranquility is found in the cars that all return home
Tranquility is found in the stores that close down
Tranquility is found in the person who sits on the couch watching a movie instead of worrying about their struggles
Tranquility is found in the family that spends the night curled up together because the young ones fear the storm,
the family that has not spent this much time together in months
I choose to enjoy the moment for I know that this state can not last forever
When I wake up in the morning the sun will be out again
My brain will resume its daily chores
For the meantime I sit in my bed reading a book as my eyes drift slowly asleep
I say my final goodbyes to my moment of peace

My favorite days are the days when I wake up and go to school when it is dark and gloomy. Or the days that there is a huge rainstorm accompanied by thunder and lightning. It made me wonder why do I like such dark weather and why is it my favorite time, when other people hate storms and dark weather. In this piece I dug deep into why I like this weather.
