in a moment
typically reserved for peace
after the blaze of a storm,
i find the comfort i lost to the wind.
i sit in stillness after the crashes.
i stay serene without fear of the earth shaking again.
i am content after what has come.
i was driven into the dark
and i couldn't see my way out while i was in,
but now i'm here
and i'm okay.
i may not be in the next moment,
the next minute, or the next time the storm calls for me.
but i'll be here,
and i can count on that single moment
to bring the calm back to the chaos.
if i remember that before i'm swept away again,
i'll be fine.
