We're words without a rhyme

[beldarzfixon]

The storm rages,

Without, within.

Lightning sends electrons free.

Here we stand, still bound.

Destruction's patterns the hand repairs,

Not the glasswork soul, cracked and soon undone.

Promises pulse deceptive energy,

Potential uncontained.

Rain can dry, wind sheltered.

Yet words light a fuse, igniting hope.

Brave to start the season with poetry! Love it!

Be safe in the snow/ice-ma-geddon out there!

We got nearly a foot of snow, but a lot of it is melted away now, at least off the roads. Thanks for the sentiment; you take care as well =)

This is really beautiful and somehow expresses so well how I feel tonight. Nothing is as it seems and I can't find a way to make anything work. I love your contrasting images. Sometimes wind can be a shelter...as you walk away from people you can't seem to communicate with.

Thanks for sharing. Your poem helped me feel less alone tonight.

Beautifully written. The final line in particular is very haunting!

I really enjoyed thinking of what is actually needed in order for a rainbow to be cast. Nice work!
