Finally drifting

Riding with the wind

Floating across the sky

With pretty, soft clouds

Watching the world

Adrift

But what if

I get swept up in the winds

And these peaceful skies

Turn to hurricanes

The wild winds

I know so well

Twisting and spinning

Not knowing where

But knowing you’re going

Someplace, somewhere

With no control

And my mind is back in that moment

Calm and comforted

Realizing that for now

It’s all just anticipation

The world is still sunlit

But I know

It takes almost nothing at all

To surge up a hurricane
