THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

It was a normal day,

A bright and lovely one,

I was happy, relaxed,

Assured even,

In the calm before the storm

I was confident sure even,

I was, or I felt, loved.

I felt appreciated and cared for

In the calm before the storm

Suddenly, there was a disturbance,

I wasn’t so sure, the phone rang,

My assured confidence was no more,

You shattered my faith,

My faith and my heart

But my confidence is intact

And the storm is not quite so turbulent.
