The Need for Calming Things

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I sit and await the storm

Inevitable and dark

Born of secrets

Fueled by rage

Aimed at weakness

That is recently exposed

I search for calm

A form to earn my focus

To still the fear and fury

That scramble in my gut

Souring all I taste

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

  Thanks. I’m actually surprised it came out this well since it was all stress-induced improv.

    Thanks. Poetry has definitely become a good release for me. Got me through a really bad year a little ways back.
