Surge 22/02/04

Thrust upwards and against
Swirling vortexes unite and disappear
In a clash of directions.

Descent through gravity
In haphazard motions
Checked by the breeze
For a moment
Thrust upwards and against.

i'm not sure what quite to say.  it really brought out so much for me.

but it makes me wonder, what does it mean for you?

It means a lot of things I guess, stuff that I really didnt think about when I was writing it. I guess the main thing that comes across is a sense of conflict and an appreciation of the calm periods within a storm. Thanks for the reply and the question, I hadnt really thought about the deeper meaning of it until you asked.

This reminds me of confusion. Like---in a situation or something. Made me think, in a good way. Good write, Andy.

The deeper we go, the harder it gets.

This poem describes how I feel when I get overwhelmed with things that happen in my life.  I feel confused and like things are conflicting and clashing together and I just want to come apart.  A really neat poem that says a lot but in a confused manner - one I can REALLY relate to. LOL.

I liked this, it does a good job of explaining how it is to be confused but I think it needs more to state that. Its confusing and doesn't give indication to what the vortexes are of.

I haven't read you in some time, Zu.
This one made me think, a rare occurance these days, so kudos on that.

I thought some, and I wanted to say more.

I think that what jumps out at me the most is the structure. I like the first line a whole lot, I think that it just submerges you into the poem and holds on. I also like how the first line and last line are the same, how it ties it all together.

Anyhow, just had a second thought about this.
