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!
