Lost in a storm

Lost in a storm

Tossed and tumbled

Which way is up

Washing machine feelings

Trapped on the spin cycle

Discombobulate

This soul

Pulled this way and that

By hunger for connection

That is doomed to fail

Time after time

Whose love is it you are really hungry for

Storm girl?

After the promise of connection you offered

Vapourised

I found myself all alone

Crying

Tears

Revealing

What was hidden before

Deep inside

Tiny one

How your heart aches

So now please

Just be present

Within

The deep alone

That opens as they leave

Stomach becomes

An ocean sea

Filled with debris deep inside

While all around me

Rain fall

Is the precipitation of my tears

Shedding Shedding Shedding

Deepening into who knows what chasm

Am I feeling sad

Or am I sadness

For sadness seems in this instant

To possess me entirely

But like a storm I know in time

This feeling will pass

And while for now

My vision is blurred

For the moment I allow myself

To stand still

And open my heart

In the midst of a storm
