The Eye Of The Storm

Storms can take to such dangerous intensities, that every possession one has could be torn from them in seconds - including their life.

Dreary days and storming nights,

Screaming sins roar to death's delight.

Thundering skies bring flickers of light,

Never enough to free us from night.

 

Darkness falls in a consuming blanket,

Leaving light to come in the smallest wavelet.

Winds of cold and clouds of black,

Seems to me like our lives were just ransacked.

Author's Note

I made this after looking through old pictures I had taken not long after a huge storm hit the area I live in. The weather was bad, but I decided to make a poem concerning an extreme storm that was far worse than the one I had been caught up in. In this poem, I was at first hoping to better explain how the storm completely tore up the many houses, cars, and all the likes that had to go through the unfortunate event of being caught up in it, but I found that it sounded better this way. To add to that statement, even lives were lost to the horrific weather. Hopefully, some of you may have considered the said possibilities with the above written words I chose, and enjoyed this little poem.

I hope this note may better explain the poem - please let me know your thoughts on this piece, or if there's anything that could've been said in a more fitting way.

i live in a place prone to hurricanes i live on an island on the east coast. i have seen much damage done and many homes and vehicles ruind. i understand exactly where you were coming from throught the poem. the description you used in speaking about the way light flickers in and out when all is dark was amazing. the view i picturd in my mind was a sad one but a vivid one nonetheless.

"Thundering skies bring flickers of light,
Never enough to free us from night.
Leaving light to come in the smallest wavelet"

these where the lines i liked the most.
