The wind settles <br />the pain fades <br />the dark brightens <br />my eyes open <br />alone i stand <br />in the eye of the storm <br /> <br />trees sway <br />the silence breaks <br />the noise awakes <br />echo's scream <br />the pain inside <br />a heart thats torn <br /> <br />smiles fall <br />whispers shout <br />the leaves crisp <br />the birds stare <br />the people fear <br />the people scare <br />nothing worse <br />than a woman scourn<br /><br />Jacob Andrew Jarman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-autumns-day/
