Change is in the air
The clouds gathering
Could bring welcome rain,
And unwelcome wind.
Balance in everything.
Even those things so bleak
So horrible we feel crushed,
Are countered by
Events and actions of
Bravery and beauty,
Compassion and hope.
Balance and bravery
Make life worth living.
Withstand the wind
To welcome life giving rain.
