She comes in like a storm
To blow away my world
Like always – yet this time
There’s nothing left for her
To destroy – other than my peace
Though I have learned that peace
Is safe inside me – the one thing
I won’t let go of – so even though
I find myself in the midst of a storm
I still sit inside of my serenity
Not because I Am at peace
With the situation – rather
I Am at peace with my self
So although I can recognize
The chaos swirling around me
I still feel the stillness of my soul
