The skies declare war.
The earth shakes and shivers.
The water is up to my neck- I pray for the sea to recede.
I’m desparate.
Will you rebuke the wind?
Will you calm the waves?
Hear my cries- I’m begging, God.
Will you not take heed?
I can’t hold on,
I’m falling.
Pull me out,
I’m drowning.
The cords of death encompass me.
My life’s been claimed by a greedy snare.
In my distress I call out your name-
These violent torrents are too much to bear.
