future, perfect

the cloud will fall,
the dust will set.
after, stand tall-
must not forget.

the ash will lie,
the rays will break.
defines the "I"-
what is at stake.

has ceased, the storm.
have stayed, the pains.
to find a norm;
all that remains.

has come, clear sight.
has formed, the quest;
to endure plight,
and to invest.
