Calm before the storm

Calm before the Storm
Surrounds the weary
Erodes the hopeful
Because it will end

Calm before the storm
Tells what is to come
Ears to the ground
Everyone just listen

Calm before the storm
touchs static shock
like cloth rubbed
it approachs Tick Tock

Calm before the Storm
all things must end
perhaps the same as before
Perhaps a change

Calm before the storm
Silent and Still
The Eye we live in
Day after Day

Calm before the Storm
Can't you feel it
In the air, Ground, Sea
It courses through me

Calm before the storm
I long for its end
At least it will be the end
of my waiting

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

passing shadows

Visiting the back pages, Poe...thought I'd boost this up for another look-see by others...

wow I like this poem.
It can be so frightening to wait awkwardly knowing something so amazingly horrific will happen, its better just to get it over.
Enjoyed. I hope the calm AND storm have passed by now.

Always, Alyssa

the wait is often worse than the storm
