The turbulent sheets of rain
forge into timber
snapping the sturdiness
of trunks like sprigs
the crackling explodes
shattering hues of gold
as agony cavorts
tingling the spine of
those who declare themself brave
A glorious face
that of Sea units with fury
a monstrous beauty
slashes the Earth with liquid motion
as vortices submerge the skies
into waving foams of aqua
soft words of prayer
are whispered
in the eye
as they wait patiently
for the passing of the Storm

I could feel the powerful twisting forces of nature in this piece, ATOV.

A Tone Of Voice,
I could almost see the eye of a Florida hurricane here...
the way it's described on t.v., with the pictures.
You did a very good job here.

often, i have longed to dwell
in the Eye
but stayed too long
in the Storm
now, i have found peace
In the Eye of Love

lovely, and forcefull
the crispness of your prose
is a testament of your long legacy of good works.
