Eye of the Storm

By Dawne Zacharias


In the eye of the storm
Quiet deafens the space
Tranquility's voice amid  
destruction all over the place
Our roof and shingles ripped
then dashed to the ground
For a moment it is quiet, 
not even a sound
The promise of storm's return 

will soon come to pass......

I feel my body shudder 
within lightning's dread
I watch pink clouds swirling
randomly overhead
cold wind brings the shivers, 
rain runs down my face
Lightning strikes a thunder, 
I seek shelter from its embrace
March does bring its divergence,
her footprints can combine
She will bring the mornings sunshine
Floral scents to intertwine.

It is 94 degrees here in the shade and I feel cooled down in the best way my friend.
