Cambridge, Vermont, writer Ila Campbell reads her piece titled, "Sunlight In A Storm" for this week's Young Writers Project.

Thunder pounded my chest.
All I saw was a haze;
I was lost in a daze.
The lightning struck –
and I was out all out of luck.Home was gone

and I was left in the rain.

It brought me pain!

I kept walking through the mist,

hoping for light –

until the rain and I began to fight.

Then sunshine peeked

through the darkness

(only rays).

I looked toward the light –  

oh, was it ever bright –

and that is when I found out

the world communicated

in many different ways.
