Hurricane Steve



I tried to fly into the eye
To learn all that I could,
But hurricanes can rattle brains
Just like I thought they would.

But no surprise what justifies
The search despite the cost.
When knowledge can do more than planned
To those who feel quite lost!

And so I took my hurricane book
To learn how to proceed.
I thought I knew just what to do
So, I would then succeed.

I lost and won 'till I was done.
Adventure has a way
To help me learn what I discern
While in the eye today.
