By Lyle Michael
In You A tempest in a teacup.
Brokenness in war.
Power in a windmill.
Tenderness in a newborn.
Enmity in a soul.
Corrosion of the mind.
Courage on the road to recovery.
Love the weakest strength.
Joy in love, in love angst.
Being you, with the trust
to be loved for you.
Love is coming home.
Everything in its place.
All by a purpose.
Time will tell where you stand.
Right now, here with me.
In the raging heap,
peace, hope and serenity with you.
In your touch, comfort.
Being me in you.
