A crack in the winter sky
lets the rain pour down,
flooding the land beneath.

Clouds congregate as
darkness sets in,
consuming the light
before another storm.

I climb beneath the shelter
of my lonely shell,
fragile,
yet it offers me protection.

And I try to remember
the encouraging words
I heard not long ago:

“Just remember to breathe,
for this too shall pass.”
