Phyllis, I'll bet these words really resonate with you now as you prepare for your cross-country move:

"I suffer from the tearing up of roots. Loss has made everything sharp."

I've never tried writing a cento, but I'm in the phase of life where I'm saying "yes" to things so, Okay! I will try it.

The eye of the storm is oft peaceful and warm,

Not far away the storm it still rages.

While things may be calm now it may bring you harm.

So follow the wisdom of sages.

Seek a safe, peaceful shelter with haste.

As it passes you by, look up to the sky

Let the storm seek its pace.

and give the day another try.

Note: I don't know what you want, or expect, but here are my thoughts just the same

If it isn't appropriate then give me the blame.
