A Poem: Through the Storm


Through the Storm

Holding back the rain or at least trying 
The winds they push my fingers apart
Silence no where to be found
The raging thunder is sharp in my ear
Still I try still I hold
The earth once firm like granite beneath me
Now runs to mud 
Slippery like wet clay
My toes dig in they sink they’re gone
Still I try still I hold
From a heart that bleeds that heart deceives
I see the sun off in the distance
Still I try still I hold
The rain won’t dry for its bitter sum
The cracks and clashes aren’t yet done
So dark inside they can’t look out
Still I try still I hold

I wrote this when thinking of friends lost in their own misery. Nothing is worse than seeing someone you love living in agony and so lost in it that they cannot find their way out. What can you do? Me personally I love, pray and support best I can. People are too beautiful to live drowning in pain, but never forget, you are beautiful. You never have to be "stuck" in a situation. Short of being held captive the only one holding us back is ourselves.
