QUIET STORM

IT BEGAN ALL OF A SUDDEN

AS IF MY LIFE WAS UNDONE 

WITH THE UNDOING OF ONE BUTTON

THERE WASN’T A LOT OF NOISE

THINGS AROUND ME SEEMED THE SAME

BUT THERE WAS THIS FEELING ON THE INSIDE

ALL OF ME IT SEEMED TO DRAIN

EVERYONE AROUND ME NOTICED NOTHING

THEY EVEN SAID A SMILE I SEEMED TO ALWAYS HAVE

BUT DEEP INSIDE IT WAS AS IF DARK WAS MY PATH

ONE SITUATION TO THE NEXT

ONLY SEEMED TO COMPARE

TO THAT OF A SHORT BREATH

IT WAS AS IF I WAS MOVING WITH NO MOVEMENT

AND ONLY HALF OF ANSWERS I WOULD GET

AS IF HE WAS LEAVING ME HINTS

NEVER TOO CAUGHT UP IN THESE EMOTIONS

MY LIFE FLOWED LIKE SOUNDS OF THE OCEAN

IT WAS SCARY, YET SATISFYING

NEVER OVER WHELMING

LIKE A CLEAR SKY

EVERYTHING I SEEMED TO PASS BY

SIMPLY PUT 

RESTING IN HIS ARMS

FAVORED BY GRACE

THIS STORM WAS AT A STEADY PACE

NEVER DID I HAVE TIME TO SEE IT

NEVER ALLOWED TO PONDER ON EMOTIONS AND JUST SIT

I HAD BEEN CARRIED THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES

WITHOUT ONE SCRATCH

NO SCARS

NOW STANDING IN THE MIDST OF SUNSHINE
