the blessing of trouble

none of us
want trouble
and yet it comes.
sometimes
in waves,
tsunamis, other
times in a glass
of water
tossed into
your face.
some trouble
is a consequence
of your own
poor judgement,
dumb things
done or said.
while some trouble
is perhaps
just God,
taking time off,
blessing you
with trouble
by turning his
head.
