The Healing Place
I am the sTorm I arrive in
Wind wHipped in the sideways rain
Rolling scrEams echo in my head like thunder
Who am I to be in tHis space?
Bring my storm in thE door and begin
Deep within, upheAval; I brace
Wet and frightfulLy damaged
Washed up debris; I am spat from the sea
Like a message peNt up in a bottle
Churned and ravaGed on a jetty manmade
The message; my Past, thrust free
Rageful, afraid; aLone I must cope
Abruptly the storm does pAss; in an exhausted heap I collapse
An unfamiliar peaCe; remembering me
Through swollen red eyEs, spy a rainbow arise
Tendering healing and hope.
About this poem
This is a rework of a raw journal entry. Both a physical place and an internal place I went to heal. The rainbow happened and truly felt like a sign of hope.
