Kristy Chun Poet Free verse

Tranquility

Insanity,
 Instability, 
 a touch of vertigo.
 Trees rustling, clouds flying, 
 a night so dark no stars can shine.
 Feet planted on earth so solid,
 anchored down a weight so heavy.
 Darkness settles as a cricket chirps- 
 Silence shattered, winds howling, all quiet lost, 
 swept away in a moment so great.
 Clarity,
 Epiphany,
 a touch of stability.
 A moon so bright peeking through the clouds,
 thin shafts of light illuminate the darkness.
 a shaking of shoulders, a release of burden.
 turmoil ceases it's muted roar,
 tranquility and peace eclipses this night.
 footsteps light on the path to follow, 
 surety in step for the moment has passed.
