Thank you for your poem, Trudi. It’s very evocative and full of powerful imagery. The storms within roar loudly inside us, the turmoil we feel is called fear

Thank you, Rolando. Sometimes it’s fear, sometimes it’s grief. ✨

Storms rage within my heart…The beginning of this poem, it describes a fury of pain. Trudi, this is one of your best. Thank you✨

Trudi Nicola's avatar

Thank you so much, Jo-Ann. Yes, a fury of pain. That describes it perfectly ✨

This resonated deeply, feeling the frustration and loneliness being in a dark place. Thank goodness the rocks are there for us when we most need them.

Greetings Traci, a women’s alienation that destroys her sense of wholeness, is a fundamental crisis, which I have lived through. The fear in lived reality, the β€œStorm” stripping me into nakedness. In my vulnerability there was the thread of golden opportunity for new growth and a deeper sense of self acceptance and my worthiness. I know the β€œStorm” it’s a poem as prayer, thank you Traci for finding the rhyming voice to express the journey of self discovery.
