Caught In a Storm

Hurricane winds course through an island 
deprived emotions lie like branches caught,
blown wreckage of a violent storm; 

Racing towards the eye of the storm
seeking the peace of an isolated island, 
prisoner of your thoughts you are caught; 

Tightly braided rope somehow caught 
calm intensifies and softens this storm 
a welcome gust upon a fragile island; 

My mind is an island caught in a storm.
