Life's turbulence reminds me of its fragility
Am I alone in the midst of nature's fury, unleashed?
Sounds of winds and rain speak of their presence
Always here, they're louder now, to get my attention
It is then I find safety, assurance, in a voice I hear
It tells me to listen to all around, to obey when a sound is heard
It's the still soft song I hear, when all around is raging
Reminds me that while all is not good, it works together for the good
"This too will pass, it will not last", is said
I'll see a deliverer coming on the waves, hugging the storm, speaking to the winds
Then I'll know, not to fear, I'm one with nature, why should I care
This eye will look at me and ask how long will it take
Here I find my greatest joy, the peace that's beyond all understanding
That which the world didn't give and will not take away
Where the storm is strongest, most intense is my resting place
Finding reassurance, as I know my help comes

A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
