My Oasis

Noise fills my brittle soul
Lighting rips my heart apart
Thunder roars in my aching head
Wind howls round my thoughts
Rain drips tears from my eyes
 
Storms rage all round me
Shaking me to my very core
Waves toss me to and fro
Drag me deep under
Pulling me far down
 
Raging water surrounds me
Panic leaves me voiceless
Terror paralyses me
Wretchedness drowns me
Misery welcomes me
 
Shore tantalizingly out of my sight
Lighthouse blindingly obscured
No one to rescue me
Alone against the storm
Fighting for my life
 
 
Unexpected silence falls over me
Darkness wraps itself around me
Gentle arms tenderly enfold me
Quiet voice whispers peace to me
Comfort refreshes me
 
Tranquility fills my soul
Loving  eyes calm my heart
Strong shoulders cushion my head
Soothing peace fills my thoughts
Butterfly kisses catch my tears
 
Loving friend shelter me
Strengthen my wavering resolve
Refresh my  ruptured soul
Calm my chaotic confusion
 
 Welcome oasis in my storm
Steadfastly bracing me
Courage once more fills me
Lets me swim out into the night
Facing life’s storm alone again
