Sometimes a storm comes and hits
Before we have even a clue that it is brewing
Sometimes even when we see the huge wave coming
We cannot out run it in time to get away
And so it is with the emotions
Anger, sadness, frustration, fear,
Unpredictable and strong, they wash over us
Catching us up in the chaos and mess
We wonder how we could be so gullible
How we could get so carried away
What possessed us to let a little storm get the better of us
But we are gullible, we do get carried away
Because we do care how things turn out
And so it is that the storm passes
A few branches knocked out of place
Perhaps some dents in the car
We walk around, amazed at the energy
The power that love can have over us
We are tired from being swirled around by the tides
And a deep sense of peaceful calm rises in us
We drink in the satisfaction of surviving
The beauty of life when the grime has been washed away
Then gratitude sinks into our very bones
Fills our every cell
And the next wave is Joy!
Hallelujah! Amen!
