A Rolling Rage

Sometimes when the wind blows 

You can hear the 

Rolling Rage

More than dancing clouds

An internal battle

sound and fury

waiting to erupt

Sometimes the wind calls me

Creating that furor inside

A Twirling Swirling 

Mass of Anger

Contained 

Behind clouds

Ready to Burst forth 

and Release Rain 

Amongst the Heavens

Sometimes...

I dream of letting go

Watching the Damage

Gleefully dancing in the storm

Sometimes...

I want more than sound and fury

I want to see destruction

in my wake

Sometimes...

I think I deserve

to let loose

But...

Storms destroy

Disconnect and Damage

More than what is around me

If let loose

The Rage would 

Destroy Everything

Tears

I do not cry

Pretty tears

No gentle rain 

For me

No single teardrop

slowly trailing

down an alabster cheek

No soft sigh

No, I sob

A wild Thunderstorm

Wracked with Grief

I Grieve

I sob

I hurt..

No beauty queen 

tears for me

Emotion grabs me

shakes me

controls me

I do not cry 

pretty tears

rather inelegant

gulping gasping sobs

Tears falling off

spiked lashes 

Like a waterfall

Dashing to the rocks

The pain engulfs me

strangles me

controls me

purges me

Leaving me empty

destroyed

ruined and lost

Words

I love Words

The way they

trip along the tongue

The way the wrap 

themselves around 

you, creating

delight

Wonderful, wicked words

that make you see

new things

 Think new thoughts

I love words 

they create a tapestry 

of delight

showing us images 

in our minds

wonderful, wicked words

I love words

they wreak havoc

and mend souls

they dance on air

and sludge in the mud

the twirl and twist

confuse and bemuse

I love words

Wonderful Wicked Words

@Shauni

God's Eye

Be silent

speak softly

bow down

God is watching

Always aware

always present

Don't dismay

Don't wonder

yet let wonder fill you

God is there

Always

Listen to the wind

Listen to the seas

Listen to the very birds

In their trees

God is watching

God is Here

Be Joyful

Be Awed

Be Humbled

God IS

@Shauni

On the Edge

on the edge

insecurity wrapping around

me 

a slow sinuous snicker

taunting

ready to escape

on the edge

of dreams just escaped

promises lost

despair beckons

on the edge

take that step

will the despair win?

or does hope survive

on the edge

a fragile belief

in what can be

not what was

of innocence lost

and found

Of Hope betrayed 

and faith renewed

take the leap? 

will I fall?

or will I fly?

On the edge of laughter

and life

of simple joy

On the edge 

of everything

@Shauni

A New Dawn

A New moment

A new Dawn

A New Chance Revealed

A New hope 

A New Dream

A New time to dance, unconcealed

Promise of today

Just today

A heart fulfilled

Promise of Fate

A Story untold

A Fear Stilled

Rejoice

Renew

Respond

Every Day

A New Hope

A New Chance

A New Dream

A New Promise

A New Dance
