AN ISLAND IN THE STORM

 

AN ISLAND IN THE STORM

 

She stands tall majestic

Spire and steeple crown

Dreams stretched up and outward

From her enveloping arms

 

Wooley clouds caress her brow

She sleeps

Dozing in the comfort of knowing

She is always beyond our reach

 

Lightning flashes jagged bolts

Thunder crashes tearing at her sides

Through the maelstrom stands the lady

Thrusting tall beyond the tides

 

Generating a special interest

An influence well beyond the norm

Thunder Butte Mountain stands forever

Secure haven from the storm

 

----- Eagle Cruagh

Wow, a powerful write.
Hmmm, this is a well written poem but there is more to it than meets the eye, as there alway is with this writer.
It is essential to have an anchor in life and what better choice could there be than an inanimate object for they never let one down and are always there, come what may.
Well written and expressed and as always, there is a message that lives on beyond the verse. Enjoyed.

I like the mental images this one invokes. It has a nice strong feeling to it.

Eagle I was transported back to my island when she was struck by a huricane.......she took a bashing...but she withstood it......thanks for the imagery

I can picture a majestic mountain with a storm brewing over it. It can see this wondrous display of nature in my mind. I love the flow of this poem and the words were beautifully chosen.

[just a touch of bitters..]

What a powerful write. I particularly enjoyed your use of personification - it really created a connection. :)

Now if I was a licensed Phycologist.............I'd say this was a sexually metaphor for a fanatasy woman however I'm not licensed so I'll say that I enjoyed the metaphor!!!!
