Today the sky is dark
And the clouds low
And the wind biting
And the ocean churning
With an anguish akin
To my own.
I cannot change
The elements.
I can only wait
For the clouds to part
And the sea to calm
And the winds diminish
And the tides recede.
I must be patient,
Ever hoping,
Calmly awaiting
The sunshine of your love
To warm my soul
And ease my burden
And give my life
New purpose.
