You Calmed the StormA Poem by JazzMy nana wrote this about a friend of hers that had asked her to. I just wanted to put it up 'cause I really liked it : )I was a single flower - standing alone, alone and broken, withered and dying. I needed peace, I needed love, I needed light and warmth to help me stay alive. I searched the sky, I searched the earth, but everywhere I looked there was no one to give me peace. I had to fight to stay alive. I cried and cried and found no peace. I hated me and hated you and everyone who broke my heart. I couldn't find a thing to love. I was alone, I called the gods, but they didn't listen, they didn't exist. Still no one heard my sad, sad cries. I was alone, I felt despised. I was abandoned, I paid the price. . .
My heart was bleeding. I longed so much for someone's love. The hate I felt was killing me. It dragged me down like heavy rain. The pain I felt, I could not explain. It made me feel like I was trapped and drowning in the darkness called my life. The rage inside was my only friend. I couldn't find the peace that I had been longing for. I couldn't smile, I couldn't trust nor love the one that mattered the most. It was the person inside of me - my one true friend. . .
But then one day the sun came out - it warmed my heart and lifted me up. I pushed the darkness into the pit that had been my life for far too long. I found the Son who came to tell me that He loved me. He took the clouds and all the darkness that followed me. He made me see that I had found my one true love and inner peace. . .
I let the hate just drop just like rain into the sea of broken dreams. You calmed the storm in me. I found a dream that filled my life with greater things that I could not see, while I was curled up in this dreary, dark, and lonely place. I saw the Son, He came to me and took my hand - lifted me up into the sky and showed me things that brought me joy and true precious peace. . .
And now I smile, I sing and dance. I feel alive and spread my wings. I am a flower found in the Spring with colors I've only seen in dreams. I am not alone, I am not alone, I am now free, and filled with His perfect love and precious peace. He helped me conquer the things that made me feel like a dying flower, so all alone. I found the Son and He found me. And now I smile and dance and dream. . . © 2012 Jazz |
