Welcoming the Storm
T E O'DONOVAN Jul 2018
This unnerving, unwavering humidity is all enveloping.
I draw a gasping breath but it's makes no depth;
Encased in this thunder cloud waiting for it to break
Trying to be patient but it seems impenetrable
I seek promise in the aftermath -
A new path in its wake.


Let it break. Let it break.
Let the pieces fall where they may
Let it wash away the sins of the sun
Let its downfall be my rising
Let it all become undone.


Another shallow breath barely reaches my lungs
My ribs become rigid - hardly moving;
Serving their purpose as a cage.
I await the storm for my undoing,
I welcome it's unruliness and upheaval
With all its rage.


Let it break. LET IT BREAK!
Let the pieces fall where they may
Let it wash away the sins of the sun
Let its downfall be my rising
Let it all become undone.

— The End —
