Oh, what courage it takes
To gaze into the eye of the storm
Unflinchingly taking command
Knowing the consequence of blinking first
Witnessing the wild at heart being tamed
As rivers spill over and skies take flight
Steadfastly holding our ground
Questioning only the safety found
By the fleeing of a bird on the wing
Standing against the current
Looking catastrophe directly in the eye
Recognizing fear as our sensible companion
Letting us be strong in our heightened awareness
Intensifying the existent conviction unwavering
A steely belief in what was right all along
Universal blessings soon to be gifted
As the peril of another maelstrom has lifted
Destiny allowed to play out on an angel’s wing
