The waters flowed calm
1 October 2020
The elements raged
Pelting rain tore at my cheeks
The storm’s pace quickened
A raven called hoarse
a mild reminder of death
beak lost in twister
Rising in the skies
Gusts of wind shook free my frame
I recounted time
A single line drawn
across my heaving chest’s throb
The tempest, silenced
Soothing thoughts surfaced
As hurricane receded
into oblivion
The waters flowed calm
Monsoon surge a memory
Its downpour wasted
