Riding the Storm

Sunday quiet

You crushed the tempo of our love
Touched my pulse where we once united
Thready because of your affection for another

I am a bleeding heart after the quake is over
I shed the leftovers and gradually
build a new horizon

I rise
and see beyond the breaks of the tide
In tranquility, I sanctify on
Sunday quiet

Writing has healed me in ways that I could have never imagined.
