The Storm Within- Sariah Andrews

An ocean of majestic blue

The sky above with grayish hues

 Whitened sand so soft and warm

Deadened silence before the storm

The sky now turning a midnight black

Giving me warning I should turn back

Flashes of lightning from ground to sky

Ignites the world like the 4^th of July

The clouds release streams of rain

I stand there knowing I shouldn’t stay

But each droplet seems to wash away

The mistakes of all my yesterdays

We connect for a moment

The storm and I

As I realize with sorrow

That’s how I feel inside

A thundering conscience

Gusts of wavering faith

It’s time to let go and come unto Him

To free the potential I’ve been holding within

I feel myself lifted

As I let go of all doubt

I stand peacefully on the shore

As the rainbow comes out

I turn from the sea

My shimmering friend

Lungs filling with air

I take a salty breath

The storm has moved on

And so has my fear

The rainbow assures me

My Savior is near
