THE STORM
When the waters recede after the storm
When the sun is again on the rise
When you shed the last tear after your heart has been torn
You can rebuild what was lost on the tide
Don’t get trapped in the folly like the wind in a sail
On a ship that you never sent out
Take a deep breath and smile at your coup of the gale
Let the strength from within expunge doubt
Your season has come as if on angel’s wings
Open eyes acute to their aim
Akin is the precious and new life it brings
Breaking down and eroding false shame
So take to your oars and row for your life
Lest you slip back in the white-capped waves crashing
The anchor is lost and the past has swept by
Secure your hold true with tight lashing
Into the current adrift is your lot
The bearings point true in your course
With the North Star solidifying your plot
In the heart you will find your true source
