EMOTIONAL TSUNAMI
It strikes without warning
savage and primeval --
the menacing obscurity,
the turbulent obsession,
the rubble of confusion
leaving bays of impasse
in the aftermath of fallen trees.
It overwhelms, it devastates,
rising in a crescendo of moods.
It scatters broken dreams,
lost in the search for belonging.
Is there a way out of darkness?
The cadence of the soul seeks
a surface of calm renewal,
freed from captivity.
It sweeps away the broken pieces,
clearing the sky of clouds,
expanding the colors
of returning peace.
