In the Heart of the Devastation

When anger and hurt take over, we cling to what our hearts have failed to reach.

As the sun disappears from the sky
Like dust in the wind
Emotions that arise from yesterday
Create hurricanes all around
The sea of what was myself

As I stand to face the eye of the storm
I reflect on the ocean image
And realize I am the enraged hurricane
That destroyed towns and homes
And crumbled the hopes of many

Along with my own

But when I look back on the disaster
I see his lonely smile
And his sympathetic eyes
As his hand reaches for my remains
He picks them up

I could only wonder why
Such a beautiful light would rain
On such an ugly storm of rage
That hated the world for it's ideals
I can only wonder

And the question still remains unanswered

I love it, it's so emotional. Nicely written and expressed.

It was full of emotion. I love the feel of this poem. :)
