Sentimental Storm

Havoc descends its scythe abruptly
Further indignation bears dichotomy
Splitting at the stem all rationality
A storm in proportion to the store
Unseen, insensible; serene, unquenchable
Tears cried hard enough to shake the very earth
From beneath my feet

Finally, to empty me of dreams
Let the snows disconcert spring schemes
Let the storms roar, and rage
Wring the very fabric of this page

Scatter all my notes into the wind
Blur and blizzard March, up end
For that was only the control of pain
Poured down like the rain, when time ran out
Then suddenly, just still and soundless all about
Holes poked into the smooth, soft soil to root
When change is just another attribute

Linger then, another day, another hour
Intangible just tangerine made sour
Though to my lips still sweet
Even after this, drown the days retreat
Heart-warming are the memories still true
Could a shower have the power to get over you?
When my lack of will floats up to brim upon the stone
Then settles back into the love I’ve known
For certain spring arrives to shine its light
To ease of certain ache, in favor of delight

A witch cannot stand over a cauldron and
chant words nearly as well as you can take
them and twist they and make them rhyme so
well.

I had to pick myself up, dust off and return to my seat after being blown right out of it!  : )

Happy Easter weekend!

Kathleen - What a wonderful write!

"Could a shower have the power to get over you?"  

I guess only if you think it has but some things we just don't want to think.

Yes, you have moved me with your words.
