Beauty in the Storm

Crash, oh lightning, 
sting, oh rain
Come and terrorize
unleash your pain
Feel the darkness
descend on earth
Til thunder rolls and 
lightning unfurls

Call forth your anguish, 
let God reign down
Upon this tapestry
a cacophonous sound

Pour out upon us
until the bitter end
Of your life cycle
because I know when
The calm befalls us
as the land will rend
Itself up meekly
our storm will end

And I stay praying 
amidst the whirl
This child of God
upon the earth
I’ll look up, 
let last raindrops fall
Upon my furrowed brow
know he had it all

Within his right hand.*

*So do not fear, for I am with you; 
do not be dismayed, for I am your God. 
I will strengthen you and help you; 
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10
