Love truth, but pardon error.

Voltaire (1694–1778)

Poem Artwork

Seeking shelter
I hid from the storm
To take refuge from raging winds
And rain that felt so bitterly cold

My eyes blinded by the elements
And a mind blank and devoid
I stepped without thought
Into the dungeon of distress

I walked further in darkness
Experiencing more cold and gloom
Felt more alone than before
Like a lost soul in purgatory

What I’d thought would ease
My emotional emptiness
Only led me deeper
Into the eye of the cyclone

Tossed in the midst
Of this inclement outbreak
The aftermath and destruction
So dolorously painful

Can I rebuild anew
And walk in the sunshine
Remembering in future
To watch where I’m going!

Artful and magnificent... "Eye of the Cyclone" makes foam from waves of sublimity... A poetic bouquet of Nature's flowers diffusing scented wonders.

I salute You, Poet.

In admiration,

Powerful offering, Elga. So often we take one wrong step and end up in a place where we find ourself dodging bullets and harsh words. There is always light beyond the cyclone, though while in the midst, it is often difficult to see.
Take care,
Sherry

I can relate to the emotions that you express within your verses, Elga. Do we ever really "learn" lessons about love and such? I don't know. Love and best wishes,

Lessons learned in Darkness often result in some wondrous answers such as our seeing more clearly when emerging into Light.
A fine poem, Elga!

Elga,

Have I missed you! Welcome home. :)

Find the eye, the center, of your emotional storm. A powerful, apt comparison, excellently penned. Well done. As A StormSpinner, I wish I'd written this! Keeping.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

The similarities of life and storm can find one within the emotional turmoil that comes from a cyclone effect ...whirlwinds toss the mind around and clouds dampen the spirit, yet it is the center where one finds peace...and when all else fails...the storm passes and sunshine exposes the Light of the world...

nice work....
