Crests of Waves

I hold onto faith, because really, that’s all I’ve got To survive the turbulent waves and the mighty winds The surfacing facts that fit into a big puzzle, A big picture that spans over many years of time A journey of highs and lows, success and defeat Faithfully, I can only act from the realm in which I live Sometimes ideas are seen on the crests of waves Maybe leading me, to change direction of my ways I can only speak truth whether it’s heard or not I can only stabilize my footing on the deck I stand, That moves through currents, one day at a time Riding with uncertainty, while reaching for rays of hope To bring patience through the whirling storm A storm that turns over new lessons, restores strength As I am guided, holding on tightly to what I believe Never wanting to let go of that or I may be lost I must put aside some questions, while I take in answers Always keeping my eyes on what I know to be true The internal knowing, that no-one else can see Therefore, only I know what will truly set me free Heidi Sands 11/29/20
