'nearly a Storm'

Like a raging sea crashing into reality faces enlightened feelings enhightened the heart and mind pulled the urge is in full but the climax not filled the fresh water distilled the fizz and the buz goes flat and undoes the water still ripples as the mind slowly cripples the near overflow bubbles down to a low and the ocean lies still as the storm turns to a chill what may have been mellows out to a stream a slow narrow calm to stop the strong ocean harm now a flat murky lake covers the tidal heart brake gentle way out, like the tide going 'bye' re-adjusting the balance, 'so long' temporary high.. sjeg

See I do want to congradulate you but I also want to offer something more tangible than just a clone comment of everyone beneath me so I will say this: I remember how you expressed your insecurity over your writing to me back in March. Now I look at this poem and see it's your first so I hope you can find more appreciation for your own talent as much as I and the Soup do for featuring it. Also I get why it's nearly a storm. Whatever happened to enlighten the faces, I hope it was something loving
