The chaos whirled around me
In a giant spiral,
Trying to draw me into the center

Or maybe,
Just keep me flinging
On the periphery.

I’m not sure of it’s intention.

The storm created was weak
For all the energy it expended.

I resisted.
I have lived on the edge of insanity,
Like Rumi.
I will not go there again.

Let the spiral, spiral.
Let the storm rage.
I sought safe harbor
And calmer water.

I found it within me.
A single centered breath
Blew the storm away.
