The Tempest

(inspired by 9/11/2015 flooding, Ibaraki Japan

The Tempest


Amidst the turbulent waters 
holding on to a pole 
as the cruel flow 
devoured everything 
before his  very eyes...
there he was 
standing for his life...

Then I saw myself...
standing there...

There I was 
caught in the middle 
of my tempest...
So suddenly so swiftly...
my world turned around 
so instantly...
All that I believed
were all washed away...
