Force Majeure*

You loosed the whirlwinds
That day in April
Without knowing it,
Setting a settled soul
Off his pilings

Forced to face my realities
And my fears
Living outside comfort
Risking everything

Overwhelmed still by uncertainty
Adrift with the floodwaters
Hoping to land and germinate
On fertile soil
