When the Storm Comes



When the storm comes,
the head becomes a cave
in which to hide from danger.

When the storm comes,
the world closes off and
we feed ourselves on anger.

When the storm comes,
love grows cold and
all becomes a stranger.

When the storm comes,
Wisdom is a homeless child
who cries and we harangue her.
