A Deluge
Submerged in intense emotions he keeps n a v i g a t i n g into the deluge…
It was him who moved forward into the overwhelming ocean,
he reacted out of determination when he set out to do what was right-
O v e r f l o w i n g with remarkable demonstration, full of emotion,
Noah built an ark and faced a storm for FORTY days and FORTY nights.
Two by two animals and family, God had told him to carry in his ark,
a storm so s t r o n g brewing but Noah was raised to be righteous-
Day upon day and unable to navigate it was so spate and dark,
but this PATRIARCH was full of persistence and was bravely courageous.
Waters e n g u l f e d the land so steep the mountains were covered,
a storm so furious killing all living creatures still left on earth-
As Noah looked into the raging sky he knew the bluster had hovered,
but deep down understood this TEMPEST would bring novel re-birth.
In inundation the deluge immersed and the ark kept r e s i s t i n g,
cattle and stock fearing the gushes of water profusely pouring inside-
They were not used to being with other species and coexisting,
but the flood was so a t r o c i o u s they had nowhere to run and hide.
After the s u r g e s cleared and daybreak arose with hues so pleasant,
the ark pulled up to the shore but there was nothing left to seek-
The livestock and humanity walked off quite wet and EXTREMELY hesitant,
just then a white dove flew in with a God sent olive branch in his beak.
Submerged in intense emotions the d e l u g e navigated
him into fresh pastures.
