Notes About The Poem

Furious Passions

Powerful passions promise to
find the light within the darkest night
sparkling like diamond stars in blackness
soothing, healing, accepting the caress
of a feeling who beckons through the mist
of a haunting, autumn reflection into a caress
from the hurricane's heart, a touch of hope
promising sensations of inspiration sent down
from the home where we will make our way once
this moment has past and the hues of sorrow
have gone by, reflecting the intimacy of faith
conspiring to build a fire of insight inside
where the storms still rage on as reminders
of a naked urgency comparing the water's 
strength with the silence that comes after
the storm has finally driven hearts ashore
where they will await the touch of sorrow
coming from the echoes of waves that collide
with music that ignites fires of harmony
mysterious memories color us with fury
