Forces of Destruction

Love given then taken!

Forces of Destruction

I am but broken at last,

my resilience worn thin.

I have survived so many storms,

hurricanes that swept

with vengeance

through the pastures

of love that I have ploughed.

But you were that super tornado,

the one that wrenched my roots

from the earth.

The one that tore up

every fragment

of my soul

and cast it unto

the four winds

of doom.

It's what happens when the one to whom we have entrusted our hearts and souls leave us or shatter that love somehow. I know this destructive force all too well. An intense write, John.

Yes I am still going through the aftershock a year later. Thank you FT.

You are not alone, John... you are welcome.

This reminded me of the oft mentioned scientific phenomenon - the 50 year wave. That one wave that decimates a shoreline. A shoreline which has changed little - rode out storm after storm but then can be dramatically altered by the wave of waves. A terrible thing to experience.
Great metaphorical writing John.
