The waters flowed calm

The waters flowed calm

.

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

.
