After the Crash

After the crash came a changed perspective, a different outlook on what is life.


      After the Crash

 

We crashed on the beach
The plane is a wrack


All there is – is water and sand

Sand and water, water and sand –

 

Where in this picture do I stand?

Where do I fit

How do I blend

Into this tide

That quickly expands?

 

Yesterday I knew

Where I was going

What I was to do

Today is different

 

I do not know

What awaits me now

What I am to do

Thank God we are sound

 

Thank God we are safe

Does anything else matter?

Has anything changed?

 The only change is


 

I now realize

That all is uncertain!

…All is as was…

Only I have changed
