After so much time
So much suffering
With great storms and turbulence
Where people have been waiting such a long time
Things are slowly changing
A calm has come
At least for now

After so much division and sour feelings
After so much pain and illness
Possibilities and hope have arrived
A calm has come
At least for now

After heavy darkness
Light has shined through
It shines bright through the clouds
Bringing blue sky
Pushing the darkness away
A calm has come
At least for now

After great sadness
Heavy hearts
Tears and angst
Joy has arrived
Life has gotten a bit better
Smiles starting to return
Laughter
A calm has come
At least for now

After people gave up
After too much stress
They want  to try again
To begin again
Together
A calm has come
At least for now

Calming
