In the middle of the ocean
In the darkest of storms
I was shivering from exhaustion
Alone and gasping for air
I thought I had died
Overcome with grief
Drowning in loneliness
No one could see me
My shouts fell flat amidst gigantic waves that roared in crescendo
I spiralled into despair
Wondering if I had a way out
An escape from the maddening chaos
To an imagined world of tranquil waters
Crystal clear vision into my weary soul
Then the waves washed me over to the shore
And then I looked at the vast ocean once more
A hand reached out to me
Giving me respite from the brutal storm
I fell asleep to the humming music in the air
For the first time in my life
I saw the face of forever
The palpable presence of hope and strength
Resilience that shut the anger of the storm
There she stood amidst the waves
Serenading the vastest of oceans
Calming the fiercest of storms
She showed me the miracle of faith
Unlocking the key to the purest of joys
She brought me closer to myself
To see all the good and beautiful, all the bad and ugly, all the rivers and deserts, all the peaks and valleys
She helped me throw away all the labels, all the limitations, all the boxes, everything that was burdening my load
She showed me how to befriend the ocean
She showed me how to embrace the storm
She inspired me to walk in the ocean of storms
Blessed bliss beyond compare
She shared the jewel that she discovered
She revealed the source of her indomitable strength
The radiance of her countenance
That wanted me to hope once more
She pointed me to THE ROCK
Immovable Rock
Unshakeable Fortress
Her face beheld the Most Beautiful Light
She reflected The Light of Life that illuminated the darkest of tempests and the toughest of storms
She was gazing upon OUR PRECIOUS LORD JESUS CHRIST
He held her hand throughout the storms
He embraced her and shielded her that she supernaturally walked in the ocean of storms
And so now because of our MIGHTY MATCHLESS KING JESUS,
We’re both walking gloriously on water
We’re dancing jubilantly on waves
We’re celebrating our eternal victory in God’s sweetest embrace
She is my sister, she is my dearest friend,
The truth seeker, the jewel emancipator,
The giant slayer, the true general,
The most beautiful radiant precious authentic human I’ve ever loved
She is the Storm Chaser
