Eye of the Hurricane

I know now that the time when
I felt better,
I know now that the time when
Everything was calming down,
Those times weren't true,
I was just in the eye of the hurricane.

It was calm and quiet,
The rain had lifted,
And in the distance I could see a rainbow
But then it all came crashing down.

The winds picked up once again, the rain pelted the roof, the houses were swaying, and the water was pouring in.
It was filling the house, threatening to
kill me.
And as much as I screamed,
The rescue team was no where in sight.

The first hurricane happened over a year ago.
And since then, more and more
Keep arriving.
Each time they do, they flood my house and destroy the roof.
Each time they do, I am inching from
Death.
And each time,
The rescue team is no where in sight.

But it seemed recently,
When the winds pick up once again, when the house begins to sway, and the water begins pouring in, when it's threatening to kill me,
There is the rescue team.

They paddle me away from the danger,
In a dinky old raft.
But the raft is enough, it's so much more than enough.

I know now that the time when
I felt better,
I know now that the time when
Everything was calming down,
Those times weren't true,
I was just in the eye of the hurricane.

I believe,
Hurricane season is coming
To an end.
