&ldquo;And once the storm is over, you won&rsquo;t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won&rsquo;t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won&rsquo;t be the same person who walked in. That&rsquo;s what this storm&rsquo;s all about.&rdquo; <br /> ― Haruki Murakami

this is the shadow
that winds and weeps
barely speaks
through this rhythmic existence

Excellent wording. The lyricism of the words you used gives a beautiful rhythm to the whole poem. Congrats on the Editors' Choice. 5/5
