The Storm

The waves grow high
and break against the cliffs
The wind howls
The rain beats and beats
inside my heart

Blind rage, debilitating gloom
Unbound passions consume
There is no hope, merely
         empty
                    wretched
                                     ME

But then
the wind stops
the sea stills
and silence turns to peace

He walks across the water
on my sea of insecurities
and I reach out and take His hand

He calms the storm inside of me.
