I hear you in the roar of the sea
you wave your rage against me,
there is more noise in you than
a soul should bear.
I see you, beautiful storm,
your naked truth grows
in the heavy untamed waters,
a heart longing for peace.

Oh I love that heart longing for peace in the rage of the storm.
ReplyDeletevisceral...makes me think of some of the kids i have counseled...so full of emotion they dont know what to do with....
ReplyDeleteheavy untamed waters - great picture, great depths and emotion
ReplyDeleteA raging heart is very unpredictable. Like the way you relate it to a raging sea! Nicely Kenia!

I can feel this poem, Kenia!
ReplyDeleteEvery second of this poem is loaded with rich imagery starting with the roar and the wave of rage! Very powerful! As if trapped in a cycle it desparately longs for a way to end.
ReplyDeleteexcellent, every line
ReplyDeletegorgeous ~
ReplyDeletelovely! perfect lines... can feel them.
ReplyDeleteUntamed rage...beautifully expressed...
ReplyDeleteLovely poem! I think letting out all anger actually helps us regain our peace, even if the process is painful.
ReplyDeleteThis took me way back. It so describes the rages of my now lovely daughter when she was a toddler. Probably not what you had in mind. But it's good to make connections.
ReplyDeleteI have no children, but I'm a teacher, I deal with lots of teenage rage. :) Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you made the connections. Thanks for reading.
Delete..'a heart longing for peace' ..loved the emotion here ...well written.
ReplyDeleteYou caught the essence wonderfully here. That sure is a beautiful storm.
