Whispers of the Storm
This poem is about the symptoms of PTSD

Whispers of the Storm
I walk through echoes, silent screams,
Shadows dancing in my dreams.
Time bends, but won’t erase,
The ghosts I wear upon my face.
A breath, a shiver, cold as stone,
Yet somewhere deep—I am not alone.
The stars still hum, the moonlight calls,
Beyond these endless, crumbling walls.
I close my eyes—
The storm still roars,
Yet in its heart, I hear a force.
Not chains, not fear, not endless night,
But embers burning, fierce and bright.
A voice within—
Soft, yet strong,
"You are the dawn, you are the song."
Not just the past, not just the pain,
A soul that rises once again.
So step by step, I climb the sky,
A wounded bird, but born to fly.
For though the night still sings its tune,
I walk in fire—
I am the moon.
About the Creator
Katie L. Kashan
I am retired, and for the first time in my life have time to pursue some passions that have been left in the back burner. I hope to develop emotional resilience and help others do that, too. My writing is AI assisted.
