Storm Within / by Alexander Lyadov

A day will come when I’ll feel thanks for this time.
For now, it’s only intuition, a hunch, an insight. A spark in the dark.

I didn’t choose what’s happening, but here I am in it.
A wild hurricane grows, threatening to swallow everybody and everything.

By chance, my spot is the cyclone’s center, the “eye of the storm.”

A strange place. There’s a kind of order here, but it’s deceptive.
At any moment Chaos can turn the center into the destructive edge.

But until then, I get a rare chance to watch. What?
The most fascinating thing —how society, a group, or one man acts.

And most of all, I can learn a ton about myself.

It’s like two streams collide—what was and what’s to come.
Their boiling merge runs through everyone here.

This experience is a treasure, though it’s hard to believe.
My mind stumbled, asking: “Why am I here?”

The hurricane thundered back: “Find the answer in you.”

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
