Stay

Sometimes, everything will be dark and stormy.
The hurricane will sweep up all the homes,
the shelter, the love and life
from people surrounding you.
You may be
the only one left standing,
but almost crumbling
like the torn houses.
Lost within
the flying debris,
The vast, open field,
The dense forest,
the things that keep you sane.
But you stay, as the wind passed.
As the rain stops, and the thunder and the lightning.
The flowers will bloom,
the plants will grow,
the animals will thrive.
And so will you.
