Turbulent life

As it starts there is calm,
Then it hits
The pain over flows
It comes in waves
The calm warning of the coming turbulence
It comes quicker
There is no time to rest
The finial blow is overwhelming
But it is here
Suddenly it was all worth it
But the pain is not over
It grows again like before
Though this time slower
But as before it diminishes
And calm returns
Again after the calm
It has returned with more force
Devouring and expanding
It is a leech
Though in the next calm
It is a savior
Even later you do not know
It causes pain
But never more
As it returns to the ultimate calm
As death overwhelms the pain of life
It overwhelms your only child,
Your pain and your happiness
