The Calm Before the Storm
(a poem I wrote in 2000)
A whirlwind
As the search never begins
But also never ends
It continues to spiral in madness
So much energy from this madness
Rises up to the brim
Until suddenly the rain falls
And the void comes
But the search remains in hysteria
The storm builds
Again and again
Always collecting
The remnants of the storm before
The storm leaves the search in a frenzy
The wind howls
It cries a great sound
Until the core falls short
And the energy is lost and the storm dies
The frenzy leaves the search void of vigor
The storm is an outsider
It feels its own outlandishness
It is this feeling that causes the fear--
The fear of being left alone
Again, the storm dies
Its hope fades to nothing
Its fears escalate until
They creep inside and steal all the energy
All the energy that is left
Again,
The storm dies.
