The Storm Is Near
The Storm Is Near
By MEH3
As I sit in this field
I looked in the sky
And noticed a storm is near
Thinking
Should I run in fear
Or sit and see what's near
As the wind got stronger
I started second guessing myself
Like, why am I still sitting here
But something came over me
And I wanted to see
What the sky will look like once it passed
Even though some may say
It's dangerous
I saw it as an opportunity
An opportunity
To look fear in the eye
As this storm passed me by
In the midst of my storm
I stop worrying about how it would end
And let go of all my fears
Even though I felt lonely
A presence of peace
Came over me
And I realized that
I was being protected
To see a brighter day
I felt my situation getting better
As I continued to pray
On this dark and stormy day
Even as I was in my storm
I looked beyond it
And saw gleams of light
It was like He was challenging me
To allow Him to move the clouds
And shed some light
I heard a voice say
Don’t waste a perfect storm
So I continued pushing forward
I noticed that it was working,
And the storm that's here
Will soon pass
After every storm comes the calm
So, I changed my thinking and said
Clear skies getting near!
