..."?The Eye of the Storm!"

Intrepid winds once....

Whispering serenities promises; uncharted

Into the chambers of their souls!?

Watching these invisible wings now

Carrying their dreams so, very far away ~

While reaching out to touch the hand of

Echoing breezes illusive embrace?!

To grasp the intangible things

Through bars of molten steel; seven viles ~

Embeddingly fused into glass sharded concrete....

Brushing past their amissful fingertips; bending

Muddled visions of what could have been

But, what shall never now be, again!?

Piercing their eyes these hurricanes of time

Tornadoes spawning the devestation of a life

Cast into the medieval dungeon of darkness; hades

As the waves crash violently upon the shore

Waiting for The Flying Dutchman to soon arrive?!

Driven by the gales of tomorrows foreboding

Shackling chains bound by, fates, skeletal crew....

This rogue which shall carry them away, forever ~ 

Deafly ears that could not hear, serenities promise

Once whispered unto they amid the intrepid winds

Transient storms now, carrying their spirits afar

Beyond the rainbows that melted in the sky

Beneath these scorching gusts which, blinded their sight

While they wasted their chance within such opticals

Reaching through verticals of, thorn laced bars

Grasping at nothing but, intangible tides

Vortical ideos that could have never saved, their lives 

Crossing the shadows of eternities solemn doors, now

In through....

This is another remarkable write from your beautiful soul....I do believe we are in the eye of the storm.....where "all" seems calm but not really....the vortex whirls and eternity is born...Blessings always, John. Love, Annalise

A pleasant read, some nice images but not really my cup of tea.
