"CHRYSALIM" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

The world outside?
It can be chaotic.
God Does What God Likes.
What we break, God May Fix
or Leave Shattered, just like that.

At least I’m safe,
also warm within.
The giant shower is on,
perfect for this badly parched land.
My sense of peace is unspoiled.

This is the authentic, unique moment.
I get to enjoy the storm
without risking myself any harm.
Where I am, I have resigned,
silently enjoying God’s Grand Design.

This strange serenity won’t last,
but at least I get to enjoy it
piece by piece
before the storm’s over
and God turns The Giant Shower off…
