there is a storm
brewing
feel
the thickness
of the air

within
the center
breathe
the calm
the quiet
the silence

not a sound

skies
darken
winds
will rage
seas
will roar

within
the center
breathe
the calm
the quiet
the silence

not a sound

voices
may anger
feelings
may fury
hearts
ache

within
the center
breathe
the calm
the quiet
the silence

not a sound

the storm
will lash
storm’s thunder
will crash
the lightening
of its eyes
will ignite
the sky

within
the center
breathe
the calm
the quiet
the silence

not a sound

the storm
shall
quell
the storm
shall
make room
for
tranquility

within
the center
breathe
the calm
the quiet
the silence

not a sound

a storm’s silence
