I enjoyed writing it as I began playing with space in and around the poem unknowingly at first but then intentionally after the sixth line. As I patterned the flow… I began channeling my thoughts …in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3,2,1 words.
Water water everywhereBut not a drop to drink! We are country overflowing with an abundance of rivers and blessed with the monsoon season. Yet the picture is grim.

What’s different about you, after the storm ? Are you hardened and toughened by it ? Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?

On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️

Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.
Storms have a way of playing with our life even when they have long subsided. The brewing storm in our thoughts and dreams may seem fearful yet they also bring perspective to empower ourselves.
I write these verses inspired by the reading the title and verses of this poem, this morning. Thank you 🙏 poeticmobility.

Yet change is rarely felt this way… For change can be the difference Between the dark and light Of the night and day.
Humans are hardwired To fear change in doubt and uncertainty But change is the only constant.
However… humans are also wired in hope To trust transitions of change is hopefulness And hope is here to stay.
