Force Majeure*

You loosed the whirlwinds
That day in June
Setting two settled souls
Off their pilings

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

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

New life with you
All I dream of,
All I pray for
Each time Sleep stalks me
