Hurricane

When I made my anxious preparations

He said life is still short.

Even when things happened to make me anxious

Even if they seemed likely to happen soon

Why miss the opportunity to savor every minute

He had meant to say.

Without living in the moment completely

Life passes by so fast

Trying out of fear to avoid what the moment holds

What lies before us becomes unrecognizable

Accepting the present he gave to me

For the moment

I would like to be thankful.
