Hurricane eye-born
she marvelled;
what peace – this new world
quiet still
blue sky high
strange empty place
not a bird
not a dog
not a living soul
empty unbroken stillness
future?
calm, says the present
a world walled
in dark black
closer, closer, closer
shhhh…
distant roar
rhythmic life-beat
lifts her to feet
and the wind finds her
dancing
Harnessing Chaos
