Reflections of life’s events
Present and project themselves
Like a movie at a drive-in theater before me.
Flickers of déjà vu
Connect missing pieces
Aiding in my understanding
Of events to come.
A prerequisite for the preparation
Of future events.
Insights of dreams
That have come to fruition
Has brought everything full circle
As I am shown the way.
Speechless, I stand
As deafening silence
Quietly introduces itself.
Raindrops begin to fall
With resounding applause
Bringing relief to my ears
Through unseen tears
As they fell like waterfalls.
But as I listened,
My pain began to subside
And although my storm rages on,
I am at peace within
The tornado of chaos
That surrounds me.
Losing one soul after the next,
Feels like an added weight on my chest.
So how does one summon
The strength to move on?
It’s been said that God gives
His toughest battles
To his strongest soldiers.
That He’ll never give anyone
More than they can bear.
I am humbled He thinks
So highly of me.
Continuing on I persevere,
Rest assured my faith
Will always be
Stronger than my fears.
And with every storm thus far
That’s been weathered
I’ve found a deeper understanding of
What it is to have
Strength beyond measure.
