The Storm

the tempest of the shadow’s roar
thrashes around me 
like never before.

each wave of unbearable ache
ravages my soul 
like a violent quake.

our lives —
a bond divinely designed,
a tapestry woven,
intertwined.

threads of laughter
and of tears,
stitched together
through the years.

yet the savage shears
in careless hands
have ripped and shredded,
leaving only a strand.

his whispers
like a serpent’s hiss, 
planting seeds of discord,
a treacherous kiss.

pitting mother ‘gainst daughter, 
father ‘gainst son,
friend ‘gainst friend —
his vile pleasure knows 
no merciful end.

he reveals in chaos
and fractured ties,
a cruel puppeteer
with bewitching lies.

still, in the abyss
of this evil design,
there is hope
that will outshine.

love is stronger,
and the light will mend,
revealing the truth
so this can end.

through those broken shards,
the light pours in,
a healing grace
that comforts within. 

never give up,
oh weary friend —
the light will guide,
and hearts will mend.

remember those souls
who have walked these hallowed grounds;
their wisdom is our compass,
truly profound.

hand in hand,
we will shape a sacred space
where compassion thrives
and healing takes place.

through this passage
of brokenness, 
we all find 
our true wholeness.

winding, worthy —
this path we embrace,
through shadows of light,
love’s healing grace.
