Calm For Now

The calm before the storm

'Tis the most dreadful part, isn't it?

Why do we endure it;

Wait it out?

Does it not cross our minds to be prepared?

Or are we just too focused to notice

That we are trapping ourselves,

Making the situation harder to face.


We like to think

That the storm will pass,

Leave everything as it was,

When in reality...

...it could end it all;

Leave you with nothing. 

It's an inevitable pattern we go through,

Just clouds forming as we wait for the downpour. 


As I sit here

And watch it cycle

I dread the day

That it comes to me again

For we never know

When it will be the last time

That the cycle reaches us,

Or what it will bring when it does.
