Finding Grace through the storm

The winds rattled the shutters,

lightening streaked across the sky,

the windows a kaleidoscope of prismatic hues.

as the

delicate cheeks of Heaven became a mighty flood

hurling a deluge of weeping, whimpering waters,

scourging the blemish from the earth.

This steady stream of flowing liquid gold,

begun to calm my wretched soul

I had been tossed upon a monstrous sea of turmoil

storm-pitched within the confines of my inner soul

the cleansing rain a balm to salve my deep unrest.

That blessed rain had come to rescue me

purifying my sentient roaring bellow.

Calm became my grateful balm, with

peace flowing like a river over my being.

Grace hugged my shoulders

reminding me that 'all will be well'

Human frailty and misconceptions

will always be a part of life

Within this maelstrom, I learned to

walk through the storm

with grace and humility

And listen to 'Desiderata's message'

"Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and

remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Yet, speak your truth quietly and clearly".

Ambiguity wrapped in truth.

No matter the repercussions...still

Finding

Grace through adversity!!!
