it
cracks
like eggs
and shatters
like thinly blown glass
-- always vulnerable –
easy
for it to all crumble
before
your bewildered eyes
there you stand stark naked
blindsided
amidst the rubble of life
scattered around you
at the lowest point of low
the bleakest black of bleak
with a jumbled chaos
fomenting inside
there rises a swell of
faith and courage
innate resilience takes control
survival skills hidden so deep
they are unknown
emerge slowly and
deliberately
from within
dark turns light
and the soul shines through
nothing is the same
but all is
okay
