Mountains weep of wind-
to trees that never fall...
The storm inside just wells,
those drops will soak us all.

I inhale my rage,
wrap it within-
dark-wind's caress
in cool contend.
Howling echoes
boom on rock-
In brightened bursts
of color-spark.
I am but dust,
stoked for the blow-
and I can feel it,
scent its growth,
Roiled shadows feed,
in sky's contend-
and I am hungry
for that blend.
Angst dissolves
on raven wings-
I, with mountains,
under siege...

"...But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go...
~Emily Bronte

I really love that line. You are firing on all cylinders today. Felt the poem as a whole to be a yielding of sorts, allowing the crumbling of a barrier meant to protect something precious, that instead was robbing it of everything good as well. Welcome to love, Tanya... it doesn't have to hurt.
