Hiatus

Who will be here when we break?

To pick the pieces up?

Cracks begin to show already love

Fading in the sun

It’s never peaceful in the wind and rain

Time is spent waiting

For the storm to end

But it’s only a pause

Hiatus

Then a frantic run to shelter

What happens when that shelter

Is no longer there?

Will we race downstream in the flood?

Will we whip wildly in the wind?

All we can do is take cover

The best we can until

The storm is over

Plant our feet in solid ground

Comfort each other

Together

Survive the deluge
