After the storm
all that will have persisted
will be a word
perhaps whispered
in the lull
before the next storm,
and the one after that
and the one following…
All that will have stayed
will be the sense of quiet rain
sounding like a lullaby
feeling like
a cleansing
yet only an imaginary one
for not all can be cleansed away.
After the most violent of the storms
something will still have stayed.
