Eye of the Storm

by Genevieve Sturrock

amid the swirl
of daily
responsibilities
that threatens
to overwhelm
me with chaos
when i have
more to do
than i have
hands or
hours in the day
i savor that
quiet moment
of peace when
we both look
up and see
eye to eye

I love that you have conveyed such a profound feeling with just a few words.

Hi Geneveive, Great write. I know the feeling. I do love it, when I can have quiet moments, specially by myself.

Fantastic. I really like the tornado effect and how you manage to convey the still calm of the eye of the storm (with eye-contact). Just brilliant.

Excellent especially in that the title embodies and raises the power of the whole, giving it layers and a deep quiet emotional core.

I like that this was written on my birthday! So I can take it personally...smile!

CONGRATULATIONS on POTD! I can sure relate to this one, only the eyes I look (on earth) into understand me in non-human ways. The eyes I look into above, always have me in their sight. The words used are specific enough to apply to (you?), the narrator, but general enough to be interpreted by others, as I have, in their own way.

Inspiring POTD. These moments keep us connected.

Congratulations on POTD! Well deserved. The poem says so much with relatively few words.

It's shaped like a little tornado swirling storm I think, and chaos it could make --but the still centering of "eye to eye" is the core of balance . A poem of the day to inspire and draw us heart to heart.

Here's to the wonderfulness of that sight!

Form and philosophic perfection. I agree with Don. This is one of those pieces that speaks to the mind and the eyes!

I know the eye of the storm is calming and this is so clear where you find your peace..nicely done. smh

VERY NICE...NICE FLOW...YOU CANNOT STOP IN THE MIDDLE AS IT ALMOST BRINGS YOU TO THE ARMS OF THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT

You have captured so well, a moment in time that is precious. You said a whole lot in very few words. Good work

it drew me in, leading me with familiar emotions, and left me with a kiss, I liked it very much
