A shimmering light
A rippling surface
A subtle change
Apparent
But hardly felt
A piercing truth
Past an armour of denial
An unaware surprise
The result of
A stricken conscious
A prying interference
That burrows beyond
Nestling within me
A fear
In my crevice of safety
A patient loss
An angry peace
Foreign, yet familiar
Incomprehensible
Now, a settled acceptance
