The Power of Pain

by Wendy G

 
Pain is a lost person
Wandering aimlessly 
through me …
 
Pain is the tears 
Forming ponds,
Then rivers, swelling to floods
Coursing through me.
 
Pain is the volcano crater 
Grumbling and spewing
Erratically, before the roar 
Of a violent eruption
Shattering me. 
 
Pain is a spark
Igniting fires, 
Starting a blaze,
Roaring out of control,
Burning all in its path,
Destroying me.
 
Dust to dust,
Ashes to ashes.
