A lone petal
survives
the
storm...

Rising waves crash
upon brittle shores;
in swirling surf
a man stands-
lifting up hands,
bailing buckets,
trying to
empty, the
sea.
fear begets anger,
uncertainty morphs perception
becoming certain, acting
on rage, blinded-
there is no light,
only grasping hands
clinging to spirits
wounded, afraid-
acting out.
to yourself,
show love,
revel in it,
delight in your
failings, rejoice
in success,
demonstrate patience-
do likewise, for
your neighbor.
