Any Moment Now

The whirling, twirling, spinning vortex will spin into nothingness

The rumbling, moving earth will break into a tiny pebble
The ocean wet with life will become little more than a trickle

Any moment now....

The abyss will close and the inky blackness of its cloak will wrap tightly around me
The raging turbulence will become a lullaby soothing the crying infant

The roaring thunder will be silenced

too afraid to speak

too afraid to break the nothingness of what surrounds him

too afraid of shattering the protective arc that has covered its roar

Any moment now...

So in the abyss I wait

Wait for that moment

Unknowing when it will come but certain of its coming

Unknowing if it will be this one or that

Watching, waiting, patiently silent

As each moment passes by

Smiles and gently cradles me

Helping to ease that which is growing

Helping to calm the savage beast

Helping to silence the raging fire

Any moment now....

Life will begin
