soft words of reassurance

hurricane winds and rain
spinning tears
mixed in anger, frustration
watching everything I love
destroyed
by forces I cannot control

the eye of the storm
rare moments when I smile
seldom remembering
to express my regrets
to declare my love
calming my anguished heart
blue skies may appear
but the shadow behind my eyes
dims the calm sky's reflective tint
sadness returns
unappeasable
with the howling wind

houses are ravaged
drenched in an abundance
of emotional frenzy
homes, where hearts are kept
may one day find new walls
but to cure the ills of the soul
magic is needed
soft words of reassurance
the storm has taken them from me
will I uncover them in its wake?
