A Stormy Ride

Driving an empty country road;
engulfed by an emptiness within;
reality seemed almost to implode;
and I didn’t know where to begin.

The scenery was peaceful and serene;
but my mind was devoid of purpose;
through it’s midst, ran a flowing stream;
and life, seemed peaceful on its surface.

But, within my mind, I battled a storm;
a conflict of enormous proportions;
almost wishing I had never been born;
for I’d never felt such distortsions.

All peace of mind lay hidden within;
even though I attempted to summon.
I tried to relax; but could not begin;
my out of control heart kept drumming.

I found myself in two separate places;
mind and body, each seeking control;
thoughts and body wore separate faces;
and body needed to override my soul.

A lifetime of sorrow had flooded my thought;
drowning me, in a flood of my tears;
but, conscious awareness, did all it ought;
and temporarily dried up my fears.

Sorrows and tears have their time and space;
but destiny dictates they last for a season;
everlasting love shall come to replace;
and we learn that faith is the reason.
