Storms

T The sky was dark as thunder Was a long way yet to port The sea was beginning to boil In a small boat life wasn't smart Suddenly a flash of lightening With fascination watched the colours unfurl The crack of thunder following I knew that the storm was near to me still The little engine was straining Against the waves that broke its bow Felt I was on a roller coaster But no straps to hold me back now. I tied myself to the mast with a cord Just in case the waves took me away Had a life jacket on in due accord Looked in wonder at the storms vivid display The noise of the thunder lessened Telling me it was moving away Feeling very bruised and battered thanked God for saving me this day.

That must have been something for you to experience. I have been in many storms, but not in the water. Now we are having tornados here close to me. Thanks for sharing.... Lucilla
