Storm raged my inner being
almost wrenched out my heart
with fierce agony, I walked down the streets
dogs barking at me
flies created settlement in my filthy hair
I staggered around dragging my feet
nowhere to go
while contemplating suicide
the lord appeared
he wiped away my tears
held me in his arms
fed me
clothed me
he shamed the demons
and set me free
here I am today, the storm is over
I can see the light now as heaven has smiled down on me.
I have always loved this song written and produced by R. Kelly, it was released back then in year 2000. Please enjoy it as much as I do. It’s a music that will take you back memory lane, ginger your spirit, revive your inner mind, set you on the motion path of inspiration to determination, to survive and succeed regardless of all obstacles.
Storms will always wither away, just if only we are patient and believe we will make it. We all go through storms, no one on this earth is an exception, the strong one will stand the test of time.
Everyone including me has a story to tell, the good, bad, ugly and stimulating ones. We shall have good stories to tell as we remain firm, strong and faithful for others to learn from it and also have hope to move on.
This post is in response to the one word prompt. Storm.
Powerful entry! Thanks for sharing.
