THE EYE OF THE STORM Once crashed the waves Of tempest storm Once blew the wind As sails were torn Once drove the rain Gainst frozen skin While darkness took The vessel in Once void of any Hope at all Once trapped inside The prison’s wall Once sickle’s steel And weight of lead But faintest ray Shown from ahead Once in a moment Skies were clear Once ocean’s calm Dispelled the fear Once warmth of day Cried all is well The storm has past Now mend the sail Once gave the way To those who care Once bent the knee And found what’s there Once wine upon The lees in hand And from it strength To make a stand Once wakened from A slumber’s sleep Once wind reversed Across the deep Once stared again At coming black No where to run No turning back Once little deeds Allowed back in Once planted seeds Take root again More quickly now The vines do grow Dragged quickly to The dark below Once back inside The tempest hold Now worse the winds Now worse the cold The brief blue sky And radiant warm Was only the Eye of the storm …Jeff Bresee
