Reflection on storms

Oh I said I'll be true to you

But I did not have that much to do

When the colors ripen in the sky as the day passes by 

The sand gets soggy then gets dry

So was I!

I would lie and lie
still and never work for much more.

 

You threw me into tormoil because

How could I say I worshiped you when I did not
follow the law you gave or live the life you told us to live?

 

You decreed for me

An impossible moment lasting for years
That wrenched away even my tears

 

Suddenly one day the sun shone through
I wept with gratitude

Now I want to guard my life and keep your light close
and make different choices that the choices I chose.

Follow, listen and obey,
and keep my feet ever on the Way.
