Rest in Peace

When all the dust settles
And the storm has passed
Regardless of the form it came in,
Fire, wind, water, earth, spirit,
We are left where we started
But changed forever.
As the shock waves reverberate ever less
We know those waves will never really end.
Yet Life goes on,
And within our core we can find peace,
Peace within the storm and peace
The morning after.
The best thing in Life is not a thing,
And so barely even nameable,
As we live it every day.
