Great Storm of Helplessness
Dark swirling mass of clouds
Why have you come to enshroud
Twisting lives around somehow
Plying the river Styx with scow
Going somewhere very fast
Little reason in your path
Energy loosed in every direction
Such an angry act of destruction
Toss my world in a stormy sea
Watch helpless spirits flee
No courage remains unmoved
No purpose remains behooved
Rain of death fall down on me
And wash my body out to sea
Either way will I not survive?
Waiting for what faith arrives
Is there any hope that be?
When all seems lost inside of me
Why have you come to enshroud
Twisting lives around somehow
Plying the river Styx with scow
Going somewhere very fast
Little reason in your path
Energy loosed in every direction
Such an angry act of destruction
Toss my world in a stormy sea
Watch helpless spirits flee
No courage remains unmoved
No purpose remains behooved
Rain of death fall down on me
And wash my body out to sea
Either way will I not survive?
Waiting for what faith arrives
Is there any hope that be?
When all seems lost inside of me

Great poem, different to normal, but still great....don't say drama, say passion....LOL Niah
I loved this poem of humbleness, acknowledging the power of God..and how helpless we really are when it comes to our death, or what will become of us in the end..
Nature's energy, though at times quite destructive, is neutral - taking the good and the bad, alike. It simply IS. While the Dark swirling mass of clouds is awe-inspiring, surely, No courage remains unmoved! ...and, hope, somehow, manages to survive!
