Storms of Life

by JLR

Stormy
the day became, as minutes ticked away,
as sea swells rolled higher, racing before me.
Thundering waves lashing me with spray.
But, I stay. My sadness resolutely drowned
my deepest fears brought me here spellbound.
 
Angry
waves roiling, tossing seaweed and foam
consuming the deep blue waters hungry
for the next crashing wave near our home.
My mind, consumed with tormenting, found
my deepest fears brought me here spellbound.
 
Raging
the winds howl likened to a coming hurricane
with such force, my stance quivers with the rampaging.
A blast of rain and seawater stung my eyes again.
Words unleashed in a fit of pain standing my ground,
my deepest fears brought me here spellbound.
 
Fury
felt within the onslaught of nature’s upheaval
seemed as if all the saints became judge and jury.
Making the seas stew and brew. Seeming evil!
Only If time could be rewound,
my deepest fears brought me here spellbound.
 
Wrathful
her heart made to tremble this fateful morn
seething remorse was seen, while not bashful,
the silence screamed. Her love toward me, worn.
Time will not heal these words crashing aground.
My deepest fears brought me here spellbound.
