the tempest showed no mercy
the wind knew no restraint
but tearing through my life
they left destruction in their wake
the clouds released their fury
the lightning pulsed with rage
battling with fierceness
in the reckless war they waged
i searched to find a refuge
amidst the pounding rain
as the winds sought to devour
the remnants of my faith
ravaged by the storms
i poured out my complaint
while the floodgates of my tears
broke through their iron gates
then a voice more fierce than thunder
calmed the tempest’s rage
and leviathan lay silent
as the mountains ceased to shake
a gentle wind prevailed
whispering it’s refrain
to look beyond the storms
to find the blessings in the rain
in the ruins of my suffering
life came forth again
with never-ending blessings
in the season of my pain
