Blind eye

To plot the psychology of a storm, in the meteorology of the mind

a hurricane is born, with an eye that is blind

It's which hemisphere, that does steer the spin or direction

When skies are clear, it would appear a depression, with no threat of detection

The flows of its highs and lows, chart its path and ferocity

Strength grows in a hidden heart that shows turmoil's atrocity

In the storm, reality is torn as warm waters increase its force

In the crash of the sea, paranoia is born all along its course

The howling wind's wails, begins destruction's trails as it makes ground

Raising water and rain, with the rails of denial's pain, is the gale's pounding sound

A tidal surge the last bastions submerge, until is found a hope that does arise

the belief of champions, sublimation's high ground in a blind eye's blue skies

Moods can change just like the weather and at times the change is expected and at others it is not. Sadly there is no forecast for the human moods. Nice one Soren.

Thanks Will you are right the weatherman is about as accurate as the psychiatrist both 100% after the fact. Thanks for the read Will

this metaphor works so well, and the rhyme is like a funnel of a storm rapidly moving.

Interesting poetic device here, using meteorology as a metaphor for psychological states. It is effective in that depression can arise seemingly out of nowhere, like a hurricane, and grow into a howling monster. Not sure that sublimation is the cure, though. It may help, but i'd throw in some Prozac as insurance.

thanks so much John for the read. Yes the mind is as difficult to predict as the weather. I'm not so sure about the Prozac though it is like seeding clouds, and you're right sublimation may not be the cure but it may provide a useful diversion.
