Cast Adrift


Cast adrift
in a tumultuous storm

of one's own making

no clouds with silver linings here
just blackened cumulonimbus
sagging from the weight
of unshed tears


it takes
one act of kindness
one shaft of light
one seed of hope


to release those tears
dissipate the clouds
and welcome back the sun.
