Storm

Vishmini Balsooriya. 1995 (colombo)

Free verse
This ship is lost in the storm
Darkness watching quietly
As tears spill and hearts break
Bumping against old wood

Storm scheming up over me
Fogging my thoughts
Am I weak hearted
Or is this life too harsh?

Too caught up to figure it out
Too bothered to ignore it
Is it karma?
Having a loud mind

Wanting to swim away
Yet too stubborn to give up
Will I find peace in the ocean?

About this poem

This poem is about life happening when we least expect it and getting caught up in it, having second thoughts and having a hard time surviving.
