The Bluestocking 2022-23

Eliana He | Grade 9 The Eye of the Storm Waiting on the dock, strangers roam Clueless of the cerulean sky soon to become bare

Some come by a ship expecting them Others are lost and land at false stops But the anchor is stable, all is still

And setting into the sea, the waves are cruel The clouds turn away to imprison the sun The thunder is actions misconceived The lightning is thoughts spoken but missaid The rain is all the words misheard The wind is everything they should have done The ship is wrecked, now who would you blame But the storm leads some to the place most calm Those who endured the ruthless waves Those who survived the messiest phase Those who owned the strongest ship Only a few are led to the eye of the storm
