Turmoil grips the essence of man, shaking the core of a heart, making mere existence painful as winds swirl and gust. Squinting against the grit, the grinding forces pummeling the weary senses, a soul leans into the gale, unrelenting. A calm, the eye betwixt the fury allowing the beat to slow as a raging river of emotion calms becomes a meandering stream. Like the great gorge carved from the endless flow of waters. A never ending fall to the briny sea where life began, where life shall end as the last breath of courage and hope are let upon ears hearing only the roar of thoughts falling from a raging fall into a pool of crystal remember. |

A calm, the eye betwixt the fury allowing the beat to slow as a raging river of emotion calms becomes a meandering stream. Exactly the place I'm looking for. Forgetting all I'm lacking |

Magnus, Good strong write. Squinting against the grit, the grinding forces pummeling the weary senses, a soul leans into the gale, unrelenting. |

Those are some thoughts you have raging out there. The use of your vocabulary mixed with the talent to tie it all down to add the most impact and still find a smooth read brings us to one conclusion. SUPERB and a most enjoyable read. Life IS just as you described it in this wonderful creation of yours. |

I know the feeling well, and you dear poet write it through the eyes of the storm. It's nice to have company when the wind blows so hard and rocks our soul. Thank you for your poetry Magnus~ |
