stormy

 
the day clatter along being noisy and intrusive
it wanted to invade me with its storm
I close my soul's windows shutting out the brewing tempest
it left me tongue tied and twisted

I was in mood like it or not
furiously trying to deny the feelings building inside me
a hurricane of emotions tore through my core
troubling my sacred sanity

it twirl through my thoughts
causing a commotion
flood warning...I thought I might cry
it continue to rise inside me. the feeling

I felt out of control
I felt unhinged
I need to baton down
but my pain raged
and I had little choice but to move out of its way
as it tore into my being
leaving my inner girl trembling

I sought solace in a hug
holding on for life
in the arms of a stranger
he looked befuddled

I was struggling to compose an answer
that shed light on my grief
it was the state of things piling up on me
until the damn broke
and I was swept away
