Whirlwind

chaos

 

cyclones of greed

toss us into the air

 

whirls wind us up

push and pull

tightly

 

    fear

 

    takes us captive

    shackles our bones

 

    spins us inside out

    upside down

    without direction

 

        hearts

 

        can still beat

        fully-

 

        bruised

        but not squeezed dry

        by despair
