It’s kind of funny yet scary
How life can turn inside out so quickly
Storms of life come quietly at first
Then building to a thunderous
Assault on the senses
What was predicted was even worse
Than expected
Riding high on the clouds of hope
Then crashing to the ground like two inch hail
Shattered by crushing disappointments
And lost time
Updrafts of sometimes courage and flashes
Of broken promises like lightning
Bright and awesome but gone
In an instant of reality
Leaving the damages behind
Picking up shattered pieces of this life
Tossed about by tornadic winds of change
Sudden realization of what can’t be
Sending the heart to find a covering of protection
So it won’t be damaged anymore
Afraid now of being so vulnerable
To the loss of further storms
That it may never recover or be the same again.
