Our Storm

The shadows of time move over us

Like clouds rushing in to storm.

The water becomes irresolutely churned

Taking our souls with it

All the way out to sea,

Away from everything we can predict.

 

And while we are drifting, weathering the storm

The motion surges our intuitions

And we lose the premonitions of why we came here.

 

Through the eruption of thunder

Our voices are lost and we’re not listening.

In the snapping of lightening

We are blinded to the truth in each other.

So we rely on the unknown movements

As we try to manoeuvre the sails of our ship.

 

But there is no knowing if we can survive this.

It’s real but we thought it was a game.

And the heart beats in fear now

Rather than with the survival of adrenalin and exaltation.
