Fortune Reborn
Twirling dress of moistened pain
Dancing in the eye of stillness
The quiet before the storm
Dizzy, spinning, arousing feeling
Tears rising skyward, spiraling...
into a tunnel where hope treads gently
Emotion, turmoil, sailing driftwood
Shipwrecked abandonment
As faith forces eyes toward the heavens
Blissfully look into the eye of nature
Make its acquaintance for the first time
Feel the calmness of its judgmental stare
Request comfort on her shoulder
Prepare yours for the marathon
of the weeping symphony that is to follow
While searing winds ruffle the feathers
And deafens the plight of sufferers
whose fragile ears can't fathom her power
Listen closely and you’ll clearly
hear the voice of nature saying:
“I’m Sorry... but pretty soon my whisper
shall spur the winds of change
and you’ll soar on the wings of rebirth”
