it came rushing back.

it came rushing back.
without warning, it did.
you are punished for being slow.
without warning, it did.

should i allow it to
take me? or should i
swim against it?
without warning
it came rushing back.

but i have to act. do i?
why should i? will i be
swept away if i don't?
what will be left of me?

just when i'm rebuilding
the house, it comes
rushing back, gushing.
and it will not pass with the
initial storm; the flood will linger.

do i have to do things
right? or do the right thing?
what is it?

in His hands, i
commend my spirit.
