The Rhythm of the Storm

[via]

i felt the waters with my toes,
as the twilight twinkled 'round me.
sparkles dancing on the ocean;
flecks of a thousand dreams and memories.
and as my heart twirled through them,
my mind gradually became aware
of a deepening pressure, a sinking current
twisting itself around my soul
and as i fought to be free of the heartbreak
i love you, my child
echoed in my ear
and i remembered how i used to love the rain,
as i relented to the pain.
feeling the pulse of the ocean.
taking in the beat of the storm.
because in the end, the sun always wins.
so for the instant 
i observed the storm
matching my tears to the rhythm;
and when it all was behind me
i gave thanks to God for my wounded heart. 
i gave thanks to God for my wounded heart.
