tidal-wave

tsunami hazard sign reads
go to high ground
get off the beach

what do you do when the tidal-wave hits
out of nowhere doubts and fear arise
resurfacing through counter waves of joy?

confusion reigns in the land of Me
focus, girl, focus
on the one who loves
focus, girl, focus
don't move your eye off the path

the storm brews in silence
batten down the hatches
keep old nick from the door
let peace descend, 
fluttering in chaos
order the thoughts, girl
renew the mind
let the heart fly untethered
