When miserable clouds assemble, bursting with drops of sorrow, gusts of torment bring dark tides to your door. You feel hope is like forgotten pennies, lost at the bottom of a wishing well. Arrows of anxiety keep firing at your muddled mind. When you feel trapped inside your head, monsters lurk inside - take a pace back. Release each arrow from the bow. Let all the pain be washed by rivers from the rain - as all bruises heal. The smell of petrichor will inspire you, your mind an estuary, hydrating on positive drops, will replace soaring floods of negative emotions - as glowing sun rays of love warm your face. Through anything, through anywhere, through anyone, reach thunder through your storm. Let bolts of lightning shake the earth - ground your soul firmly. Even when there is no light, an internal flame yearns to rekindle, like spring petals kissing dawn's air. Silent One collaboration with Charmaine Chircop 6 November 2020 Many thanks to Charmaine for collaborating with me. Charmaine is a talented poet who regularly posted on Poetry soup, I hope to see her post more often.

Silent One, the redemptive golden thread of hope weaves through your poem beautifully. I especially loved these lines; "your mind an estuary, hydrating on positive drops, will replace soaring floods of negative emotions" - inspiring imagery and an impassioned piece! Congratulations, Silent One and Charmaine, for the well deserved recognition with POTD honors. Such a worthy choice. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
