The Eye

Winds came with no warning Vicious sound of voices whipping in circles I struggle to shelter the needy And in a flash-I'm gone I'm in the eye of the hurricane I see what others have closed their eyes to I feel the volume of force that life gives us Endlessly waiting to be thrown out You hear what you want But you cannot see the voice It remains a mystery in your mind. Chaos is twirling around Something I had is lost Lost in someone else's neglect Scattered endlessly throughout the miles Distance that will be unreachable to repair The hardest moment is letting go Even harder, is the pieces left in ones memories Remorse catches you when you walk slow Speed brings a faster ability to be sheltered Unless you like the loneliness of the eye

Hey! I like the brighter stuff better. Sounds like a special lady who has done so much is going through some tough times. Hang in there. Sometimes we get tested but we come out stronger because of it. Have a wonderful day today, Teresa, and a beautiful tomorrow. Vince

Keep writing. As someone once told me, the best writing is either from inspiration, or desperation. Love, Shar
