A Ray of Hope

I see yonder A storm gathering on the horizon And the wind tightening its belt to show its might over the land and the sea. I could feel it in my bones The chill that numbs your body, your mind, As I lay on the good earth - Forlorn, spent and lost, Enduring the elements of Nature. Over me is the foreboding sky, And snuggling beside me to get some warmth is a stray dog for company. Caught between a looming storm And the savage sea, Like an abandoned ship I toss and sway and couldn't steer myself ashore. Like in a dark tunnel I wait it to abate to catch a glimmer of hope, I wait for a solitary star to shine And show me the way! For Russell Sivey's Contest: Enlightenment, Hope and Harmony 04/22/2013
