The wind howls around me; surf rises up from the sea
Pounding the shoreline, washing over stone levee.
Clouds swirl above me as flash of light leaves me blind;
The boom rattles senses, another maelstrom in my mind.

People don't notice; they carry on with each life,
Not recognizing quiet signs of internal strife.
My shore is eroded, skeletal boats kiss the sky,
And like those sailors, my dreams slowly die.

There is a lighthouse, crafted by the wind and rain.
No light to guide me, empty orb weeps in pain.
Surcease will be coming, as the lightning tears the sky:
I just have to wait for my hurricane's peaceful eye.



Alicat, the Persnikitty

I can hear you reading this, you know.  

You need to come back and visit sometime, you're missing the best weather in Oregon.  

Hugs, m'friend
