tsunami (Photo credit: arkhangellohim)
Feeling this grow
Like a river coursing to the ocean
Like a wave building to tsunami
Like eyes brimming before tears
This momentum
It’s a rhythm
Behind my eyes
A beating headache
Mistaken for heartbeat
It’s the readiness
And suspension
Building inexorably
This momentum
Overwhelmed
Like a wave before dying
Like flotsam washed by storms
Like a widow at first grief
This momentum
It’s a melody
Without music
A strange dance
Without a partner
It’s a mystery
An intervention
No way to stop now
This momentum

That is a terrifying picture.
Yes, its hard to find one that fits momentum…this was the best I could find. 🙂
Momentum – so all consumingly unstoppable. I’m thinking migraine, depression. And, at times, it can be passion. Fantastic picture to accompany such a powerful poem.x
Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
Fabulousness should be told . 🙂 x

That is a horrifying picture. I cannot even imagine. It is also so descriptive of emotions out of control. Excellent work, Sis!! 🙂 xxxx
Thanks so much dear Skye!! 🙂 🙂 xxx
Regardless of what you intended, to me this will always be a poem about physics. 🙂
Fair enough, it probably is, at its core!! 🙂 🙂
This is my favorite word in the dictionary and quite probably my favorite poem from you thus far. Great work.
Thank you, that’s very kind!! 🙂 🙂
wonderful poem, scary photo but it does fit -both are very descriptive of momentum in my mind.
Thanks so much Elaine!! 🙂 🙂
The picture is indeed horrifying. Your words certainly inspire many thoughts of momentum and how it influences emotions and feelings.
Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
Nicely written piece….and the picture conveys the idea very well….don’t see the horror….just the sensations of the words.
Thanks so much!! 🙂 🙂
This is incredibly powerful- and be this I mean your words! The picture is terrifying, but your words bring power to the image. This is one of the best pieces I have read in a long time. I feel empowered to PREPARE, to conquer the inevitable!
Life thankfully doesn’t hand us gripping moments to this everyday- but this represents calmness in my daily problems compared to your powerful message!
