The Language of Storms
There’s a feeling of relief
when the storm has passed and
all that was anxiously anticipated
failed to materialise (again),
while life rolls on in a truce
between heaven and hell
until a storm interrupts with tension,
stealing our focus,
like the unwelcome visitor,
sickness, accident,
or unpleasant experience,
at some point relief comes and
we return to something called normal
forgetting, until the next time,
and I wonder that we’re missing something,
that storms are not fearful intrusions,
in some unforeseen way
they are our guides,
we just need to pay attention
to the language of storms.
