As knives in the dark
Where the wind beats violently against nothing
A great tempest fumes







The tear of a raging flood

Crash of thunder
The clash of armor
Roar of many waters
The voice of the Lord

Arcs creep through the weeds
Crack of lightning shatters the night sky
Piercing the moon

Yet the promise stays faithful
There is a rainbow

Does anyone have any particularly good title ideas?

Wow, I love how descriptive you are! It seemed like I was there in the thunderstorm, witnessing the natural struggle. You did a fantastic job! I love it!

No, it is a formating error.

Is the space in the poem intentional or a format error?  I thought it was a mistake at first, but then i realized it fits very well with the theme of the poem.  The third stanza (or second?  the one that starts with 'crash') has an interesting combination of slant rhyme and alliteration, I think you should do more of that!

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I absoluetly love this. This is absolutely beautiful. I find what you're saying in the poem, very true. Thank you for sharing this. It's wondeful.
