Are you sinking into the ocean of dread?
Down to wreckage, the ship of ambition you led?
Did the mighty winds break your sail?
Are the Great powers looming, ready to impale?

You try to remain steadfast, but are washed away
From the land of your desire, and you begin to pray.
But the Lord above remains as silent as the night
Still not losing hope, you decide to fight.

You swim through the water, towards that land
In which your faith is buried, a faith very grand
But Alas! They come, the clouds of dismay
And a storm rages, catches you in the fray.

Engulfed in a frenzy, you are tossed and beaten down
You start to smother as you begin to drown.
You feel helpless, and so you give up
On the dreams of your past, on the victor’s cup.

The storm knocks you out, and blows you off-hand
You open your eyes, your mouth tastes sand.
Get up, O Cap’ain, there’s a sight to behold
You’ve stumbled upon, an island of gold.

Diamonds, pearls and ancient treasures,
Fruits and fuels of un-bound measures.
This stunning place, has more than you wanted
More than the land of your desire, your wish now granted.

Had it not been for the storm, you’d not be here
So when things go wrong, you need not fear.
Bad things happen for good, I always say
Be strong and resolute in life’s mysterious play.

So when all seems over, remember one thing
After the grey winter, comes colourful spring.

Icygrace... you speak as an oracle, a prophetess-- from the eye of 'the great mind' you see, feel, and speak ... this resonates in my bones...

Wishing you Great Blessings Upon Blessing! I thank God for the gift.
