The Waves Storm Around Me
The waves storm around me
Their fury, threatening
I feel the water
Its intensity, its depth
It reflects back upon me
So much!
I walked into the water
Not Directly
Rather
Through a back door
My fears demanded something
My heart adrift
I knew not a way
I knew not the way
I made a big mistake
Yet I hear peace
Amidst the turmoil
A voice speaks to me
Its answer is both
very clear
and
A total mystery
It is wrong,
So, so wrong
To drag the soul
Of Another
Into the storm
With me
I wish
I’d seen the way
Had the courage
To fight the storm
Through attacking scissors
Rather than
Through piercing knives
That attacked in the sleep
I knew no other way
Now
I am facing the waves
Ever increasing
Because
I knew not the way
Nor had the strength
I had
There is a strange peace
Amidst the turmoil
I have hope….
Despite the furor
Despite my guilt
Despite my weak terror
I have created
That a just peace
Will result
Out of struggle
I do not deserve
What I hope to get
It can not just be me
It must include
The one I stabbed bitterly
Through the neck’s back
I’m sorry!
