Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Mind’s twister

there is no rain
before a storm
just a deafening sound
of silence

thoughts provoke
bearing down
on the darkness
lingering 
within my mind

a winded breath
shutters
in short gasps
as twist of fate
and fury impede
Inevitable doom

lashing out
are cries 
of pitiful lies 
deceitful pain
inconceivable truths
buried within

a shrouded mask
unveiled
before blind eyes
now illuminated
neath tearless skies

thunderous roars
echoing
erupting
as the force 
rages on

scattered
bits and pieces
of half truths
strewn about 
as silence
falls again 



One that became two becomes one again

CayCay Godwin November 15, 2025 at 7:20 PM WOW! I like. Did he place you? He never places me, well, maybe once?, Either way, I'm not trying with him any longer. Dark is still easy for you, where you go - all year I've been hoping a bright warming light had come into your life. I remember most of our talks which is amazing considering how much I don't remember. I think we even got into your North Node once??? LEO??
