Minds, Storms, and Tigers

Three eyes, one person, infinity possibilities

Minds, Storms, and Tigers

The eye of my mind

Is a swirling darkness

No light to find

Eye of the storm

Is so far away from me

Escape the swarm

Eye of a tiger

Is something I crave

To really occur

Because in the eye of the mind

I need to have the eye of a tiger

To find the eye of the storm.

It's my birthday!

Happy birthday!

I liked the mood this poem evoked within me - mystery and a kind of distinct predatorial emotion. It conveys some intelligence within the author in that in compares that to attain one thing you must at first achieve something else that will give you that reward. I think it's a nice skeleton for a poem, but it's not complete. Add more flesh and words, perhaps look up similar themes that you have just written about and try again.

Sadly, this was the most boring birthday yet. And this poem was just written after a small whim that I decided to follow to see where it would take me.

To summarize the poem, your mind needs to be sharp if you are gonna try to find peace in this hard time"

I think you need to be of the mindset "what will be will be" We just need to adhere to what's being asked and hopefully by June/July we will be allowed to start living once more.

Yes and I have. I just feel terrible for graduating seniors, primarily. I know a good few and wish I could help them so badly. It's sad that they will miss senior prom, senior trip, graduation...
