In the calm of a hurricane's eye
Fly birds in a tranquil sky
Lie of pending winds yet to come
Numb to the beat of the approaching drum
A rainbow on the back of a fly
Cry of a baby, turned into a sigh
Die, as a shadow melts with the sun
Done, life's passage, new one begun

Wonderful writing. Well constructed verse. Th passing of the day and the rebirth.
Thank you David for the read and kind words they are always appreciated.
That’s such a scary thing to me, being in the eye of the storm, it’s like waiting to be fish slapped from both directions, certain of uncertainty! 🙏🏻🕊
Yes not only the calm before the storm but the calm after the storm awaiting certain winds to come. Thanks so much for the read and comment my friend.
So true! You’re welcome dear friend 🙏🏻🕊
Beautiful the very rebirth of a new day
I see two metaphors here, one could also be about our inner struggles. 🌹
Indeed so true my friend you read right through it. Thanks so much for the read and comment as always most appreciated
Soren,Your poem provides a contemplative examination of existence, the inevitability of change, and the moments of serenity that can be discovered even amidst turbulent times. It prompts me, as the reader, to reflect on my personal experiences with life's transitions. The imagery of a hurricane's eye serves as a potent symbol of calmness amidst chaos, while the references to the rainbow and the cycle of life, including birth and death, underscore the transitory beauty of existence.
Wow! Thank you for the most understanding of interpretations of this poem it is appreciated
