to be okay

it can all change in an instant.

life turned upside down
pieces thrown into the wind,
with no guarantee of ever
putting them back together again.

the challenge is to be okay
amidst the possibility
of unplanned, unpredictable, unjust change.

to be okay
knowing it can all change in an instant.

some days i can rest comfortably in that chaos

but most days
i cannot.
