Raging Storm

It rumbles as the storm begins 
 
Frustration strikes all with in
 
Raging wars on peaceful land
 
In the end there is no lending hand
 
For bonds are ripped and torn
 
The mender is completely worn
 
Sick from furious waves 
 
Full of overwhelming craze
 
The sea itself has been iced over
 
As unrealistic hopes dreadfully lower
 
The calm is so far into the distant
 
Its meaning becomes nonexistent
 
Misinterpreted loved ones 
 
Are mistaken as the burden
 
The obscure truth is masked in doubt
 
Heavily hanging in the air  
 
Such animosity, not a soul should ever bear

thanks! I wrote this poem because of a family feud. I really like how poems can have many meanings from one person to the next and how current events can make you see a poem as it was written for it. I wonder if I hadn't posted it right around the time of the storm if it would have had a different meaning to people. :) Anyway just food for thought! Thank you for the compliment!
