A Change

Change came at me like a deluge,

Without any forewarning,

My world was tilted off its axis.

And it seemed that,

I had to learn everything about myself anew.

The stormy clouds,

They gathered in the horizon of my thoughts.

The raging storm had grabbed my soul,

And shaken everything from within.

I would have to wait,

Wait for the things to settle,

Like rippling puddles after a turbulent rain,

For the water to settle,

So that I could see my reflection once again.
