a little poem, a strange event

[openscarf]

vague unease all day gradually forms a perfect storm of tears and anguish 
drowning me, lost at midnight
flash flood, tornedo, earthquake
as it passes, as I come back
I see a cat sitting as close to me as possible, at attention, watching me, not leaving me
we breathe together
this little animal awes me
wonder and relief
a storm as unexpected, fearsome, forceful and relentless as it was, is gone
done
not lost

answer in a poem

[dadadadio.livejournal.com]

I answer with a poem
storms loom on my horizon
the clouds never get closer
the rain does not come
i may need the tears

yet the storm passes by

i may envy souls in the storm
the rains can be cleansing
the winds blow away angst
the heart is lighter after the storm

my storm has not come

my heart feels the wind in the distance
i feel the rains building
i brace myself
the skies grow darker

will i keep it away
