Every so often.
Life is like a twister.
Violently spinning.
Uprooting everything in its path.
Thrashing and bashing things together.
Flinging it in the sky.
Just to spit it out miles away.
Your first instinct is to flee.
Not realising.
The safest place.
Would be in the eye of the twister.
At that very instant.
It/'/s the calmest place to be.
But to get there,
You are first to brave the storm.
Navigate your way around flying debris.
You have to get there.
In order to find serenity.
In all the madness around you.
Clear your head and think straight.
Just to survive this storm.

Through the storm and chaos if we/'/re lucky a new tomorrow begins. Sometimes the pain we navigate can bring us to a better place. After the madness the calm that follows can deliver clarity. I enjoyed this. Good job

A wonderful story to help us remember to face the storms in our lives. There will always be turbulence to deal with, but your message will help us to cope with grace. Good advice from a wise and experienced writer!

To clear your head and think straight -
Sometimes easier said than done?

Accurately painted this with words!

Love,
