In the Eye of the Storm

Safely dancing in love

A poem

i close my eyes and wish myself elsewhere

until i see only calmness twirling around me

as i look yonder

my life is full of peaceful bliss

but the world around me is destroying everything in sight as it whips around

unleashing its full potential of harmful powers

i don’t see the storm

because i’m in the eye of it

i whisper soothing mantras to myself

as i see the winds dancing with death hundreds of miles away

before my life was in the midst of this eye

i myself was dancing alongside the storm that carried only disturbances

i couldn’t stand still

no matter how fast i ran my heart out toward safety

but then my nightmare melted into a state of dream in which i was dancing in the rain

the rain stopped

and now

here i am

alone in the eye

as i lose track of time and all other senses that just can’t seem to be tamed
