The strange vortex <br />Whirls down <br />Concentrating darkness <br />At my heart <br /> <br />Throwing up a shadowy storm <br />Blurring light <br />Sowing doubt, fanning uncertainty <br />Questions growl <br /> <br />Deep storms rage <br />Uprooting milestones <br />Why this, I wonder, why now <br />And silence crows aloud <br /> <br />Quietly, links form <br />While the storm rails <br />Holding together the core <br />Waiting patiently for the eventual calm <br /> <br />As the vortex dissipates <br />Rage fading and spent <br />The light grows stronger <br />And clarity arrives, freshly balanced<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-strange-vortex/
