Wisdom of the Waves
To catch a wave or let it go?
To ride the wave or let it be?
Are questions I ask of myself?
The ocean of my life it seems.
Sometimes does over flow.
A wave comes in and knocks me down.
And hope is far away
The sand and water takes me down.
Into the murky depth.
And life gets so forlorn.
How can I make it through this pain?
My soul is crushed beyond control.
The water hits again at me.
I can not stand the force.
It takes me far from shore.
No life jacket to hold on to.
There is no one who can ease my pain.
I am completely alone.
But then I look and finally see.
That God is holding on to me
He will never let me go.
He calms my soul and lets me see just why this has to be,
I fight and anguish with him now.
I let him know it is not right.
To put me in such pain.
A wave of love surrounds me now.
It takes my breath away.
Beyond the darkness of my storm.
The light which shows me more.
Still difficult to understand.
The silence speaks right to my soul.
With wisdom difficult to perceive.
There in front of me my life it all makes sense.
Again I reach to hold the wave.
But this can never be.
As one wave is building up another hits the shore.
I am taken by the wave of me.
It takes me back to land.
Now I stand and look again.
Something has changed in me.
With each drop of water splashed.
Some pain is brought along.
Other drops are compassion filled.
To take my pain away.
I learn the ebb and flow of life.
There is an ocean of my life.
And I shall feel some pain.
But with out some pain there is no gain.
Finally it makes some sense.
I have the strength to walk again on every stormy sea.
Life is full of many things mysteries I will never understand.
With Faith and Hope and Love within my soul.
I know the way ahead –
For with each action comes reaction upon the sea of life.
