STORMS OF LIFE Uninvited…unexpected… The thunder awakens the Heavens… Lightening streaks the skies with strokes of disarray… Nature's paintbrush dipped into the colors of emotion…. Teardrops descending from the eyes of God Beneath the artistry of nature's fury…. And time stands still in the wake of the storm. Standing beneath this canopy of emotions Unleashed…. The horizon of the universe reveals her fury… In the distance waits the signal…. A silent voice that whispers the secrets Of navigation… The sacred map of life's seas That steers the ship into the harbors of peace; Safe, and protected from the torment And untimely destiny Of the angry sea… Dancing with the winds of emotion Surrounded by teardrops from Heaven And tender kisses from the lips of angels who shed them. The eyes of the Lighthouse are searching… Pleading for the ship to come home… Tiny vessel tossed and battered Lost and searching For the embraces of the distant shores… Diamond sands beneath the storms Join in nature's chorus… Sweetly and softly as their music rides upon the Breath of the ocean… In desperate search of sacred Promises of eternal journeys And legacies of yesterday. Wings of destiny Await there… Sleeping in the arms of forever…. Awakened by thunder… The hands of the storms steal her dreams… Uninvited…unexpected… The thunder challenges the Heavens… Lightening streaks the skies with strokes of disarray… Nature's paintbrush dipped into the colors of emotion…. Beneath the artistry of nature's fury…. And time stands still in the wake of the storm…. As teardrops descend from the eyes of God. In the distance waits the signal…. A silent voice that whispers the secrets Of navigation… The sacred map of life's seas That steers the ship in the harbors of peace; Safe, and protected from the torment And untimely destiny Of the angry sea… The angels wipe away the tears….. And the voice of God whispers…'It is finished'…. |
