Hurricane

A hurricane, silently contained
but threatening to break loose
Howling winds whipping at a throat
trying to force hurtful, pleading words
and drive fingers to pound
to grasp, swing, and release
Powerful waves and driven torrents
fighting to be seen and blur the world
So tiring to hold and do nothing

When will the storm break to blue sky?
When will the sun shine?
How long before the next blows up?
