The Malestrom

Seek and ye may find

Rising up out of the storm
Hailstone winds lash
Twist, cut rivers of blood across skin turned red

Dust and grit strake bloodshot eyes
Yet you see a way out
Casting aside your demons

You lash out in panic
Blinded by the light of knowledge
The only truth you ever knew

Was taken so roughly away from you
Steel bands tie you down as winds rip flesh
Still the silence in your brain, stays exactly the same

As a man born to shrivel and die
You do not cry
But the malestrom sings its song
Relentlessly

I like the power and savagery of this strong poem.
I can envision the storm as I close my eyes.
