Impotently Informed (Free verse) by cuddlytiger17 Choking down penitent sobs
As the rain falls down
Creating ripples in a near perfect portrait.
Hyperventilating in paper bags
As the flood drowns
All of those, disadvantaged.
Stifling frantic screams
As the wind whips through
Another desolate, drafty house.
Clenching cold, white fists
As the wolf forever stalks
The pure, innocent rabbit.
Masking faces of distress
As hail releases its fury
Upon anything unsheltered.
Silencing a wildly beating heart
Through the calamity
Of an indefinite destruction.
Knowing and discerning all,
Appearing apathetic in existence.
Up the ladder:
Red
Down the ladder:
I Am The Wolf of the Steppes

A nice read, and definetely full of empathy. The turmoil we call life can cause a sense of longing, but it's the syntax, the breaking sun from the clouds, that lets us know this has happened so many times.
