Floods

When humbled.
When overwhelmed.
When clouds roll in and the day darkens.
When the puzzle pieces cannot be found.
When the heart melts.

As you wish to carve out your heart to stop the pain.
As you try to get the thorn out of your side.
As your toss and turn, but no rest is found.
As you drop to your knees, because you can no longer stand the weight.

When powerless.

The floods begin.
