Hurricane Phantoms ghostly shifts of light Charging chariots in flight Bringing barbs of streaming rain A dance Macabre that screams insane Flagrant gobbling up of matter Regurgitating drunken scatter Dissolving the reigning power To sour wine of the hour And pools of sorrows borrow Drools the stool of tomorrow Heaving into noxious clime Depravity of father time While sheep collect in manic flock And hide beneath the panic rock Waiting for the sun of bliss To light the walls of the abyss If life were but a hurricane Then I could stand the strain and pain. |

But mental are the winds that howl and take me up by my own jowl; woulds't life be but a hurricane... I'd think myself so very sane... ~*~ You know how pleased we poets are that you have hung onto your star! |

Sigh... I could feel the barbs of streaming rain and the gobbling of matter. "If life were but a hurricane Then I could stand the strain and pain" It seems to me that you weather life very well, hurricane or not... miscellanea |

Sy! I'm so pleased to see your words here this morning. I have been SO worried about you! Glad you weathered Frances well and are still writing away. And this piece hits the nail on the head in describing the fury of a hurricane. You rest...I'll pour. ~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~ ~ Summer can't be over... |

Yanno... I was praying for your safety... but wouldn't have minded at all if Frances had stolen a bit of your talent and dropped it on my doorstep! *S* I'm so glad you're okay, my friend... *S* |
