“The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
Stormy Transforming
a short video poem by C C Keaton
They say you’re either coming out of, going into or currently in a storm
Not the literal, hurricane form
But the kind where disaster scores
When we’re surrounded by malicious saboteurs
When we’re pierced by heartbreaks’ invisible thorns
When death comes knocking at our door
Or comes to collect the life of someone we adore
Then we must break down and mourn
For losses, abuses, hatred and more
With so many waves crashing on our shores
It’s a wonder we can even endure
But we must not lose sight of a truth that implores
Jesus’ love transforms & restores!
The Holy Spirit in us performs & conforms
Our broken lives all battered & torn
Into a glorious testimonial song
And a home in Heaven as reward
Shalom! Shalom!
