The Calm after the Storm..
I took a walk in my garden today
And here and there ripe guavas lay
Today is sunny and bright
From afar I see warm bursts of sunlight
Treading slowly I enjoy the breeze
Beautiful colorful flowers smiling back at me
Fresh wafts of air in my nostrils
The glistening grass ; greener than ever
How different from yesterday when all was dark and dreary
Pitter - patter raindrops falling
Come inside mother starts calling
Birds all to their nests
The lightning peals the sky
Tightly I close my eyes
The threatening sound of the rumbling thunder
Children huddled to their chests
Power cuts resulting in darkness
Candles overcoming the blackness
Winds whooshing …banging doors and windows
Waiting for the storm to pass we fall asleep
Waking up to a beautiful morning
The calm…. after the storm has passed
A lesson we can learn from Mother Nature.
So it is with every one of us
No matter how dark or deep or dreary the storm;
Hold on tight…don’t lose hope….
Wait prayerfully for there always is the calm…. after the
storm!
