Like waves, they come
these feelings
crashing against my soul

The great colossal swells
roaring relentlessly
and mighty breakers surging

Deep calls to deep
the fury
like billows sweep over me

Not a gentle swell
dancing against
a shimmering shoreline

But a mighty crescendo
that knocks
me to my knees

Battering and scraping raw
and tearing
open hidden wounds

The winds are intense
I bend
But do not break

Because I see Him
miraculously walking
over the great whitecaps

And He sees me
and calls
me by my name

Jesus stills the torrent
His voice
calms the raging tempest

“Peace, peace be still.”
And wondrously …
The storm is no more
