i wrote this a few months ago. it represents my mind/life-the ups and downs. thought i'd share:
The Hill
Sweet laughter
Sings, from an unused source.
Eyes crinkle in delight
Worries seem far away
For now, everything is
Balanced.
The world
Is at equilibrium.
The night ends
With a lingering smile,
And an invisible embrace.
It does not last.
Lightning and fire
Rule the roaring sky.
The wind howls,
Punishes the innocent.
A tornado of hate and fury
Ransacks the lone village,
Sucks up the last vestiges
Of laughter and love
And spits out
Dirty ashes
And broken bodies.
The rampage is over.
Small lights are lit.
Debris is pushed aside
Stars dare
To cast their silvery light
On the harsh devastation.
Eyes began to twinkle
A trembling fiddle
Quivers in the distance
The people join together
Once again;
Broken but alive.
A few miles away
In a place where
Laughter can't reach
In the shadow of the moon
An angry storm is brewing.
The Hill
