The Storm
Lightning flashes.
Thunder crashes.
Wind howls.
Rain pounds the deck.
The mast breaks.
The heavens quake
As the sail
Falls to sea.
The confused vessel
Strays forth, until
It splinters
Off shore.
The lone crewman,
Used and abused, then
Washes
Up on land.
To some,
This story
Might seem
A tragedy,
But the best part
Is that the refuge land
Is you
And the crewman
Is my heart.

One
One life to live
have I
to give
the One who gave this life to me
the One who gave His life for me
the One who caused this life to be
One Word so fair
have I
to share
with one who can not see
with one who is not free
with one who lives for "me"
One love to grow
have I
to show
the one who takes
the one who fakes
the one who hates
all men
One chance to take
have I
to make
this love, this life renown
while one in sin nears death
Lord, help me speak Your Word right now
and with my every breath
Amen.

In Romans !2:1 we are encouraged to present ourselves as living sacrifices to God. We are to do all things to the glory of God and to the glory of His name with the hope that by our words and actions we are able to spread God's Word to others and help in the expansion of His Kingdom. A great patriot said, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country." We too have only one life on this earth, therefore we should use it wisely. All of these thoughts were going through my head when I wrote this poem. It is at times, however, very difficult to speak up and spread God's wonderful Word because we have this filthy, sinful flesh. This is why I end the poem with a prayer asking God to give me the strength to spread His wonderful Gospel to those in spiritual need. |

This and my leaf poem are two new types of poems that I am experimenting with. I am attempting to write them with surprise endings. The storm in this poem is the number of attempted and failed relationships that one usually goes through in life. The storm may also refer to a constant looking for prospective spouses, until finally the heart lands on the one which God intends the person to marry. |
