Growth

All pain passes

 

Fate was an angry gale
that blew the red dust away
before the rain fell
extinguishing the fires of hell
And a torrent of healing tears
seep into the ground
removing all trace
of whatever was and has been
It's always so still
before new growth begins

Yes; also a little like "the calm before the storm." Your poem is succinctly effective and meaningful, Chanti. Love and best wishes,

Deepest pain passes more slowly. "Bottoming out" is sometimes a necessary part of catharsis. I always am intrigued by the intricacy of your messages. You seem to find the light; and I am happy that certain pains have passed... for you. Also, some of us cannot see that the object of our love often ends up being the source of our pain. It's a difficult lesson to learn, especially when love blinds us to so many things. "New growth begins;" that is such a wonderful thought. -- Jeff

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
