My Soul

 

 

There is something that stirs in my soul.

It is a storm upon the ocean and I am the waves.

Most of them lull back and forth in the rhythm of life.

They rise up a little, then gently lie down upon the beach,

And then crawl slowly back to the sea.

Over and over they are always the same—

And they are happy ad at peace.

But I am not those, no…I am not those.

I am the waves that are tossed violently by a storm.

Those that are lured to a high peak, only to be

Thrown down to crash against a stone wall—

A man made stone wall that stands by the sea

As man’s only protection against its rage.
