Strength comes like a wave –
Quietly overwhelming
Touches you swiftly,
Running over you softly
Finding something to cling to
Sometimes a tsunami – tumbling, shredding with muscles
Unbinded
Running too fast to overcome
Left in the sand, its aloneness
Leaves tenuous grimness
It rolls across your heart
Spinning strength
Flies over valleys – nasty tangles
Brought by a broken world
Splash my heart –
Sweep me into solidity
Keep me higher than the storm.
