Storms of Life

Heaven roars with thunderous sounds
Lightening zappes the sky
Winds skirting to and fro
Darkness all around

Amber clouds giving birth
To balls of piercing ice
Amid summers humid air
Conditions now just right
Awaiting, the deadly strike

The power of the storms of life
Destructive ways within
No man can calm the storms inside
No man, but ONE who can

Call to Jesus, ask Him in
He doesn't force us too
Replace the raging of the storms
With peace to see them through

I can just see Jesus standing on the bow of that ship being tossed to and fro and speaking to that raging storm,"Peace be Still!"  

No man can calm the storms inside
No man, but One who can.

"Breathtaking"

Dear Marcy; The peace beyond all undestanding!
This is a wonderful poem and beautifully written. I've missed you here. I'm glad to see you back and writing your poems that are always so inspirational. Love, Elie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

A great image of a furious storm pierced by the strong assurance of our Lord within bringing us peace to endure.  Oh how we need it.  Thank you for reminding us.
