The Calm in the Eye of the Storm
A stream of consciousness poem

Raindrops
Transcend
Memory
Comfort
In the
Even
Sound
The
Sky
Is
Gray
A
Blanket
Telling
Us
To quiet down
There’s
Comfort in
The Grayness
A Day
That’s Stuck
In Time
There’s
Comfort
In the
Sadness
No Pressure
To be
Fine
Sunlight is demanding
But
Rain
Washes worries
Away
And Gives
The world
A moment
To take
A building b r ea t h
There’s comfort in sadness, in grayness of the mind
There’s ease and catharsis in writing of torment or strife
Happiness is awkward
It TAKES and wants MORE
Sadness is softer, easier to make smile
It’s easy to be sad, much harder to be happy, Some fear they’ll never love again, They’ll settle for ease and sorrow, Shutting down is so easy
The world is so tiresome, Running constantly, unable to catch up, With no destination and no end in sight, Destinations alter then warp in a haze Constant shifting Clarity then obscurity adrenaline is exhausting
Ordered, complete Thinking makes the yellow of happiness feel like sand that’s too hot.
