storm within

there is a storm
brewing inside her
she can hardly
contained it
it threatens to
overflow her veins
and spill out her
eyes and heart
as blood tears
when she sees how far
the world has fallen
into dark chaos
and shadows of hate

  5. So many manifestations of hate at least.. I'm still quite hopeful that hate will not spread.

  7. Best not to bottle up that storm within. Distilling it in a poem is by far the best thing to do.

  8. I feel those outside forces too, Arcadia, and the storm brewing. Our present political and cultural climate is explosive, and you expressed it so well.

  9. Headlines assaulting us every day. I am trying very hard to "unplug" from the barrage of news and concentrate on the good in this world.
