Storm
I stand in a calm not of my own, gazing at the storm on the horizon
My heart is pounding but my mind keeps my emotions from rising.
Black and furious with lightning etching wild streaks on its canvas,
The winds pronouncing what I see, my conviction is strong for us.
I can tackle what fury creation can unleash,
But what is coming for me will hurt my loved ones in its reach.
The storm will bring a brighter morning,
Life blooms out of the ashes
Black clouds carry the silver lining
Storm waves destroy as it crashes
Strongholds and bondage it releases.
The storm I must face,
its pain I embrace.
The storm was long set before me,
Out of my hands
for a reason I half understand.

I took this photo coming through Louisville, Ky on the way home from Chicago....so bizarre, not knowing if I was driving into a tornado, heck, couldn't barley see the road! What to do? I drove through it, just in time! Jennylynn
