Serene
You won’t be prepared
It’s subtleness is striking
Like quietly rolling thunder
Before a flash of lightning
You know it might be coming
But still do not expect it
When the rain touches your soul
You’re completely unprotected
It’s the end of a relationship
The closing of a door
The death of who you were
A life you won’t know anymore
It’s the start of something new
The shedding of a skin
The fear of being exposed
Before you know where to begin
Get ready for confusion
Discomfort is the norm
You’ll need to lean on faith
To withstand this storm
You wonder how it happened
But upon further reflection
Realize it’s part of life
And accept this new direction
The move from here to there
Is not an easy shift
You’ll often just feel stuck
Before you move an inch
But hope is what you learn
When you’re out of the between
Knowing things will settle
And you’ll find a new serene
