Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
Body betrays while caught in a tempest
The mundane morphs in peculiar ways
A silent storm stirring within you brews
With each surge, it claims a piece of you.
The office now a swaying deck
Unsteady ground, a wretched mess
Fingers clutch with fierce might
Against this inner sea’s harsh battle.
Eyes search for anchors in the gloom
Against the tides, the waves that tower
Each heartbeat echoes stormy tales
Each breath a ship in windless expanse.
In this struggle, churning chaos prevails
Turbulent thoughts, relentless strains
Yet, within, a warrior stands tall
Facing nature's wild challenges.
May calm return, like dawn’s light
And your path steady once more
After every storm, calm follows -
Assurance you can endure anything.

Well Good Luck. While I'm not trying to minimize your experience, (I didn't know you lived up there) I in general am quite bored with it as we have had nothing much else on the news (sandbagging preparations etc) for the past week. My point is that they only classify this one as a category two, when in far North Queensland they regularly have categories 3 and four, which gain brief news items. Maybe because fewer people and Murri (indigenous) live in those regions.....
Take care - look after yourselves.
I know how you feel. Been in category 3s and 4s all my life, so know where you’re coming from. The glamourising and sensationalising does not end there. Perhaps they need to pander to their sense of self importance as gatekeepers of the woke generation or whatever. Down here we’re ready to ride our current wave. 🌊 thanks kindly🙏🏻🕊
Thanks for getting it, Mate.
Argh! Hope that's not you there - nor that it might be you soon!
Good of you, the hymns do bolster me 🙏🏻🕊
Been there many times mate. Although on this side they are called hurricanes. They are a nuisance it's the tornados inside them that worry me. Wishing you well. Be safe
Yup, they can be nasty. 🙏🏻🕊
Enjoyed the read and hope all come out safe
So Glad you did, thanks kindly, 🙏🏻🕊
You are very
It’s quite difficult to be unwell. 🙏🏻🕊
A powerful message of hope and survival.Excellent poem
Thanks amigo! 🙏🏻🕊
The cyclone may be advancing towards you and I wish you well, but this poem I see as a struggle against inner turmoil. There is much chaos here and I see strength riding high through the storm. A poem of battle and survival into calmer waters. Well penned. The struggle felt.
Yes, Alfred is taking its time but surely coming for the mainland … thanks kindly Cassie. 🙏🏻🕊
