The Storm Has Passed

Oceans of regret wash over me
as we stand still and silent together in the eye of the storm
awaiting the crash ofthe next wave. It does not come.
It seems that the wind and rain have ceased and the storm has passed.
Or so we think. .
Suddenly we are tossed about on waves rolling like rock,
like stones we hurled in anger,
and we can't call them back,
lest we bruise our fragile egos
and still, we are hurting each other.
But I who carries my grudges around
like so much dead weight,
will use these stones
to rebuild the bridges I have burned,
so that I can make my way back into your arms.
Yes, mistakes have been made
but now is our chance
to make them right.
The wind and rain and waves have ceased.
The storm has passed,
has finally passed.
