I went for a walkIn the wind and the rainTrying to escapeThe depth of my pain.Didn’t take longIn that elemental maelstromTo feel my soulBecome whole once more.Who cares thatThey’re soaked to the boneWhen their heart carries darknessDeeper than any ocean.As the night grew longerI trudged on and onWrestling throughMy doubts and my questions.Finding God inContinue reading “Poem: Wind And Rain And Pain”
