Hurricane

6/29/2020

0 Comments

 
They call me the eye of the hurricane,
The calm before the storm. 
With gentle winds and balmy skies,
I offer peace to travelers who’ve journeyed from afar,
A place to drop their bags and rest their heads, 
An oasis from the war,
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread and then ...
A bolt of lightning, thunderstorms,
Death, destruction and exile once more.
