Act of God – v2

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, my demons;
Living outside comfort
Risking everything

Overwhelmed still by uncertainty,
Adrift with the floodwaters;
Hoping to land and germinate
In fertile soil
