the eye of the storm
it amazes me how a minute can change everything
one minute your life is being wrecked by the tremors and winds
shipwrecked with nowhere to go
drowning in your sorrow
dying unto yourself
and the next thing you know it
you're marooned on an island, barely surviving
you run wild across the sand letting the air carry you as you fall
hoping you can catch just a handful
you dream
you hope
you pray
that all this will never end
that all this isn't just a dream you just snap out of
that you live in peaceful serenity
far from the excruciating pain
the agonizing wales
the deadly silence of the ocean
you dream
you hope
you pray
you pray to God for permanence
but life is an ongoing conveyor belt
it moves
it disappears
and then appears
change is inevitable
and the only way to change your path is to go the opposite direction
once up one must come down
when down the only way to go is up
a vicious cycle we all mandatorily partake in
we then dream
we then hope
we then pray
that though we are now at the eye of the storm
we dream
we hope
we pray
that we live to tell another tale of shipwrecks foregone
winds that shook the ends of the earth
waves that blinded us from the stars
shadows that drowned our sanity
morning glories
under the tantalizing sun
the sand brushing against your skin,
engulfing every strand of the hair on your head
suffocating from the sudden rush of air entering our lungs
escaping our death once again
we dream
we hope
we pray
we live
