Suddenly

Suddenly though a lifetime of joy, happiness, tears and devastating sorrow Suddenly there is calm, suddenly a glimmer of a serene contented peace The waves of the ocean no longer a tumultuous frightening turbulence Instead a new placid peaceful calm, so inviting and so enticing Suddenly one feels that maybe this time, this time all will be well Maybe this is the moment so longed for, for so many years A belief suddenly that there is a safe haven a place to at last belong A place where all dreams and all hopes will not ripped asunder Instead calm and safety nothing to hide suddenly all pasts forgotten All fears and doubts and longing and despair all swept away Like the Ocean breaking over the sand softly sweeping away all fear A sanctuary at last somewhere to really belong, something that is yours All one’s dreams and desires suddenly awakened from their sleep Life to be tasted to its fullest, every moment every hour every day No doubt the ocean will not be forever smooth, but the hope is there The hope of a new start a new beginning in safe loving protective arms That are there to nurture, to care for you and to make you whole again.
