Lockdown days
Four score and ten
Each a challenge
Sustaining zen
A month in a day
A week in an hour
Keeping positive
Then darkly dour
Myriad vibrations
Rock and roll
Changing colours
Bright then kohl
Through every change
Something to learn
With God's help
His anchor firm
Life's uncertainties
Sweep and whirl
Tornados of emotions
Swirl and curl
Eye of the storm
Faith retained
At the very centre
Hope obtained
The line drawing came first, then as I added colour it felt like a tornado. I've been feeling caught up in a tornado of emotions through lockdown and yet I've felt so held, guided and supported by God.
Little Guy has been a constant presence and so it seemed only right that he is at the eye of the storm, the hope at the centre of the cyclone.
And so the poem developed. It has been cathartic to write and perhaps it will connect with you.
