recuperation
Body betrays while caught in a tempest
The mundane morphs in peculiar ways
A silent storm stirring within you brews
With each surge, it claims a piece of you.
The office now a swaying deck
Unsteady ground, a wretched mess
Fingers clutch with fierce might
Against this inner sea’s harsh battle.
Eyes search for anchors in the gloom
Against the tides, the waves that tower
Each heartbeat echoes stormy tales
Each breath a ship in windless expanse.
In this struggle, churning chaos prevails
Turbulent thoughts, relentless strains
Yet, within, a warrior stands tall
Facing nature's wild challenges.
May calm return, like dawn’s light
And your path steady once more
After every storm, calm follows -
Assurance you can endure anything.
