Centre of the Storm

how gloweth thine eye in this sadness of sunlight… where trees cease shaking woodland rests with bated breath wryly squirrels search for home © Harry J Horsman 2023

The eerie calm before the storm? If so, your words paint the picture with skill. Keep well, rest well, stay positive Sir Harry, Elder Poet. Shalom Shalom

The eye of the storm, a brief reprieve, for fawn and flora, until this maddening storm continues its path! Excellent as always dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Run Toto, run. Auntie Em, Auntie Em! There's no place like home...even if it's in the center of the storm. Just take shelter (lol)

Whatever comes next? Can’t bear to think. Yes, bated breath indeed ! You’ve conveyed the scenario so well.

Wryly and even spryly; could your squirrels be? Maybe searching out.? A more bendy tree.? Although that eye, that does not see Conveys so much..To you; to me' The sqirrrel survival will retain Its mysteries..)

very well described in this short form! took me back to cyclones and the feeling of dread knowing it is going to start up again after the brief calm in the eye :)
