I am in moments
A mind that is fleeting
Freeing itself from forever being
Trapped in the one-sided and unrequited
No soul can harbor such pain and remain sane
No ships can anchor in such a cantankerous storm
Her form malevolent yet brilliant
Sending waves that pave the way for another crash
Another unfulfilled dream that teams with turning from one mind to another
Always changing like the tide that hides beneath froth and brine
I ask for a sign, oh Lord, a sign.

I pray for dawn
For a light to come on that casts a vast reflection denying circumspection
Bringing clarity to her shifting waters...when the dawn comes
That those fearsome waves would calm and save me from drowning
A coast cleared of chaos...a safe harbor, where love can thrive
To survive the long night.

The Spirit of God hovered over the deep
And in seeped His love and light; courage for the momentous fight ahead
Where worlds would collide and divide, leaving their mark on each other
Unforgettable moments that draw these worlds back to one another like gravity
And so...the gravity of this storm weighs in, and we are rocked to and fro, again
We cast our eyes out upon open waters to find the Son of the Father walking
Fearless
He is the calm
He is in the storm
He has the eyes of the storm, able to break all derision and indecision
Begging us to "trust in one day...one day at a time"
Showing us to give grace covered in the light of His holy face
A smile that beckons us to be His and belong to each other
To serve and love one another despite the storms
When times defy the norm and cause us to doubt
His mighty voice shouts above the wind
"Do not rescind, do not doubt, weather it out, and be blessed!"

I am in moments
Unable to see anything but the calamity of unfulfilled words
The storm is a fickle thing that comes and goes again and again
I venture forth with my heart and find her wounding hard and sharp
Her winds and torrents unpredictable
The undine whispers to me that I am not a true man
That I cling to my rigging and allow my emotions to claim me
But Christ's voice retains me...and I know I can step onto the waters
And her storm won't harm me; she can even find a calm
A place where she and I exist in peace sharing the reefs
Sharing the sea, two worlds colliding freely
Where my winds caress the surface of her waters
And the Lord sleeps in my boat
I can see His face beneath her surface
And the sun on the horizon shines
Reminding me of the brilliance that takes place when these two worlds meet.

It is worth weathering my doubts...it is worth weathering her storms.
