Tsunami of Emotions

Ever experienced sadness?
The mind numbing one?
The one that grips your soul
With icy,cold fingers..
Choking out all the happiness,
Sucking out all the laughter..
Creating a vortex of grief,
A tsunami of emotions,
Sweeping up everything in,
Escalating higher and higher,
To dangerous levels,
And then the breaking point..
With a torrent of tears,
And raging fury..
Destroying and killing everything..
Leaving behind a debris of the heart
Void of thoughts and feelings..
And then....
COMPLETE CALM...!

Oh how I can relate to this - such powerful imagery - how tumultuous our emotions can be - a roller coaster of a ride - a 7 from me:-) Hugs jan xx
