The Storm  by Jennrut

Soiled

Drum drum drum drum...
A pained, wet leaf 
saturated by the storm's reverberating  pressure.
Compacted, 
Smothered by heavy soil which consumes it
Weighted by shadows of familiar clouds. Deadening, 
Rotting. 

A Reprieve 

Unable to breathe but yet mustering the strength to bend 
just as the winds take control. 
Breaking free
A savory taste of flight

The Drumming

Boom!
Stunted by the perpetual thunder which echoes through its veins
The drumming vibration 
Drum drum drum drum 
Summoning
Pounding

The Light

Flash!
Momentarily stifled by the streaks of light which reveal its true nature
Where am I? 
How did I get here?

Paralyzed 

Numbing silence
Rains continue to spit 
Rapidly firing 
While the undaunted leaf tosses
Trickling through the whirlwind
Unscathed  

Spiraling

Crack!
Free fall
Unaware 
Scars tear open as it pummels downward
Swept off by the murky currents which rapidly flow beneath its surface. 
Tumbling, bopping 
through directionless divots

Submerged

Serenity of Silence
Finally ...
Submerged

The Last Breath

Dulled Flashes... Muffled ... BANG!
Wide-eyed
Shaken, panicked
It gasps for vitality
Flailing below,  vociferating
Who will hear my cries?
Reaching...

Isolation

Left to fend for itself
Amongst the hollowed cries
Longing for inner peace
The rest of the Earth seemingly unshaken 
As it drowns in its sorrowful solitude 
Left to choose

Life!

Adrenalin transforms its inner will
Relinquishing the spirit of life
Racing upward for its last willed breath
It resurfaces to face the reigning tattoos which mark its existence

Revival

The inner glow of the sun's spirit
Warming its weathered, torn skin
Internally basking in its renewed beauty
Zealously floating as the rapids calm
Shedding its weighted soul 
...more breaths
Drumming fades
Confidently awaiting the future of nature's next purposeful storm


Note:
May we all find the inner strength to believe in ourselves and to accept hardships as the pathway to peace.
