Endure

When clouds gather without warning
You steady my breath with your stillness
We’re brave weather, together …

When the day feels heavy with silence
Your presence makes room for light
We’re brave weather, together …

When a door closes I wasn’t ready for
You sit beside me without needing words
We’re brave weather, together …

When I fall behind the confusion of things
You slow down so I don’t feel lost
We’re brave weather, together …

Even when the air shifts, and so do we
Nothing is the same, but we remain
Because we’re brave weather, together …

Aren’t we?

Ceaselessly, constantly …
Crashing upon my mind’s shorelines;
Uncontrollably …
