See the swirling of wind afore your eyes like faeries
circular spirals dancing around the moon as it howls
like that of the wolf baying in the night it’s lonely cry
It’s orchestra whirring as willow throws out its spiny limbs
Grabbing at your soaked frame as you stagger along
like a drunken sailor tethered to a rail for fear of being lost
sucked down into the bottomless sea of murk and mire
you crawl with outstretched bony finger grasping to hang on
Ahead it is there a pinpoint of light behind masked tape
straining ahead like a dog on a leash in vain effort
to reach a morsel of food that has been withheld from him
you pick at the tape with a jagged nail brittle and weak
The corner has lifted and silence falls like sails boom
Light…

a very scary picture like a tornado in the making
Peace be with you

It can almost totally suck out the last spark of energy.
How wonderful when we can reach with the last bit of inner force the light, the silence, the inner peace.
Beautiful Carol
that YOU are not silent!!
Lady Vivian
Released from this leash, shining from the light!
