I Was Chasing Shadows In the Foggy Rain

I was chasing shadows in the foggy rain

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Friday, June 25, 2010


I was chasing shadows in the foggy rain
desperately trying to reach my destination

With much difficulty because 
of the storm that I was in

And unfortunately all my 
navigational equipment was down

But out of all the things that were down 
at least 
the lights on my sail boat were still on
so that I could stay warm inside my cabin

But all along I kept hoping and praying 
that 
a huge miracle would take place soon

Because all I wanted was to get back to land

So I could return to the comfort of my own home

But while I was stranded out at sea and on my own

This to shall pass kept crossing my mind

And that’s when I started thinking about all of my loved ones

Wondering if I would ever have a chance to see them again

And then for some reason I fell asleep in my bed
and I didn’t get back up again until early dawn
to the sounds of seagulls singing into the wind

And it was a friendly reminder that the storm was gone

And I knew from that point on that my prayers had been answered
and it wouldn’t be long now because I knew I would make it home

Because the good Lord had stood beside me through out the storm

As he always has and always will until my time here on earth is done
