Brain Storm Solar Flare – A Poem

Rain fills up my skin

until I can’t breathe.

There is an anchor

sitting in my chest.

I can feel its weight

as it moves side to side,

trying to find purchase                                         

in the waves

but finding none.

I look to find direction,

but can’t find a landmark

in the wall of water within.

My eyes are blinded by a solar flare,

light fills everything that I can see.

My body can’t find its path.

I lose myself within the way

that the sunlight looks as it

shines in the water.

As I struggle to find my way forward,

I lose myself in the whisper of the waves,

that is louder than

my heart.
