The smell of disinfectant woke her. Maggie was lying on a hospital trolley and a machine stood by her side, its face #calm and its tendrils falling to the ground. Blue curtains surrounded the bed. There’s always a hook missing, she thought looking where the curtain sagged #vss365

The problem with knowing that storms can't last forever is knowing that #calm can't last either.

Desert planet sandworms have a more hierarchical society than you might expect. #Lazy ones, and even #calm ones, #sink like bricks to the desert floor to skulk around grungy #cement cities. Only the alphas ever get to the surface to bite princes in their royal butts.

"I know you're angry..."
Her head snapped round, wild eyes flashing. "Do not tell me to #calm down..."
"Elena," he stepped forward, his hands held outstretched.
"No," she snapped, her voice wavering. "Do not try and tame my anger because right now, it's the only thing keeping me together."

I used to bartend at a pretty rowdy spot. We had two bouncers, a smallish slick-talking guy we called #Calm and an absolute knuckle-dragging behemoth we called Storm. Our policy was simple. You got the Calm before the Storm, and then you got blown the fuck out of the bar.

An unwelcome calm
crept into the evening
As shadows danced
where you once sat
The streetlight’s glow
swelled and stretched
Across the room
where your absence met
An unsettling calm
that clothed my regret

News today,
Won't stop him
Putting stakes
Into the
Baddest of
Men's hearts.

The Mersey
River,
Its absence
Of it's blues,
All his
To churn.

The Mersey blues
Calming

when comes the age
life has #calmed
to tedious
you will realize
all the noise is gone
and silence rings
louder than
any bell
oh, how you miss
the noise
the living bring
when comes the age

She was able to always remain #calm. Some people admired this ability whereas others thought she was cold. To win the others over, she injected herself with some emotions. Her popularity soared when she appealed to both sides. That's why the US was able to crown its first humanoid president. #vss365

The calm before the storm
The instant difference in taste

Too salty
Poisonous
Feeling faint
Flushes broken
Perspiration on all in all
Lulled into a lie before

It’s when it comes out of left field
I lose
I lose when i think less & think i know best
I can weather a storm
But not why

#vss365 #Calm

Be calm?!
BE FUCKING CALM?!?
Not sure if you noticed, but there's a WAR going on
We're locking CHILDREN up in cages
Don't you think that OUTRAGEOUS?!?

GET ANGRY.
BE LOUD.
The time for silence is not now.

Holding this rage in is complacency, not zen

if only the hurricane
the tidal waves in my brain
could keep #calm
while i succumb to the qualms
that never cease
to let me be
