All is Well
Prominent cheerful laughter...all is good
Pondering the fond memories made with these people I call home.
Drip, drip only a few drops, all is well.
Tears running down the windows, will it stop?
Flashes of lightning and thunder like a loud beast sound.
Mystery lies ahead, through thick fog, nothing is seen.
Other cars, filled with other merry people all start to tense.
Children fall asleep, but parents start to worry...will it all be okay?
Suddenly, headlights blind me as the sound of metals crashing deafens me.
Confusion, wet, pain, then nothing...blank.
Moments freeze, as life flashes like the speeding cars in front.
I realize, nothing is well
I wake up, head spinning, bewildered
Beep...Beep...Beep, hospital machines sound and I realize I know what this means.
Laying there, immovable, I anxiously question what will change.
The once happy day on the road, turned gloomy, dark, and cold.
The cars with their honking and clashing will never be erased.
The happiness I felt, now laughs in my face.
So now I ask myself,
Was it ever all well?
