Let there be storms
that crash and ravage
around.
Let there be winds
that tear and roar
through the costal plains.
I have founded my
hope
in something other than
my home.
I have founded my
life
in something other than
my breath.
Let there be storms
that sing and dance.
Let there be winds
that whistle and hum.
I have decided to
build
a trust in something
other than
the disasters
something other than
the fear.
I have decided to build
my hope in
one
who saves.
YHWH.
This poem is directly inspired by the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge at Go Dog Go Cafe. The prompt this time was “Let there be storms”. I am working through older prompts to help spark my imagination. Be sure to check out the challenge every Tuesday! Photo by Mike Lewinski on Unsplash.
