When the storm subsides
And the wind stops howling,
Listen to the silence;
It will speak to you.
Hang in there just some more,
This too shall pass.
The fear will fade;
You are brave.
When love restores your faith,
And trust births in you again;
He will absolve you of all
That now crowds your guilt.
Some more faith,
Some more love,
And all shall pass.
And all shall pass.

Love and some more of it :)
Hugs and lots of them :)
Beautiful and touching. 'This too shall pass' four words that can make us happy when we are sad and sad when we are in a joyous mood.
Loads of love, keep smiling :)
Beautiful poem Gauri! Really...everything is fleeting.
We shall overcome turbulence, pain and sorrow with a big bright smile:-)...Lovely poem!!!
Shilpa
very very nice!! and for me, very timely too..
hope - a four letter word that makes life so much more bearable :)
@How do we know-- My poem meets its destiny when you say it was timely for you. Best wishes, take care.
@ NM-- It all passes, but we need someone to gently reassure. Yaa, my smile is intact. :) :)
@Homecooked: As fleeting as the delicious food you cook. :D Food also gives so much hope, no?
@Shilpa-- Yes, don't forget the smiles, ever. If at times you can't give, appreciate those smiles you get and that makes all the difference.
@Bhumika-- The mission of that four-letter word is not to make life bearable. Rather, it is to remind you that life is still beautiful outside of your situation. How you be??
