Stubborn Storms

Stubborn is apathy
Stubborn is desire
Stubborn is pain
Stubborn is love
Stubborn is fear
Stubborn is courage

all life in whirlwinds, 
the chaos like dust is rising 
blinding the air, darkening
with the destructive storms
of all stubbornness fronting 
each other and fighting hard 
for the hold of all hearts

and when these storms adrift have 
uprooted all without ground and 
drowned all wanting to be crowned, 
the dawn will promptly come, 
dancing into life a new calm.
