The storm

The lightening struck

When I got home

The thunder rolled in at the gym

By the time I made it to my car

The storm was in full force

The tears started before my car did

And by the time I was in my garage

The sky caved in

And so it happened 

Right there in that car

The hardest part

The hurt

That you ignore

That catches up 

Before you know

It came in torrents

It came in waves

At first I angered

Then there was protest

Then my plea

And then

When all was lost

And all fell apart

And I was decimated

And at last

I surrendered

To unabashed grief

And the wracking sobs

Had simmered down 

And even the whimper

Had subsided

And all that was left

Was a strange silence 

It found me...

The very deepest core

The very essence 

Of me-

In my darkest moment

It found me

My light

And so it is

Que sera sera

What will be

Will be
