from the eye

in the midst of the storm
days come when you arrive
peace in the eye of the hurricane
the winds may be near
so close you could reach out
watch all you know blow away
but the small circle of sea
all around is calm
looking straight up into the blue
you can see forever
stagnancy is never an option
moments rest between
the roaring waves and you
yet joy bubbles up and over
you know the One who said
"be still"
be still
be still and wait
trust that He knows best
no matter how the seas tower
how the furies rage
He gives to His beloved
and I am His
blessings without measure
strength for the torment
grace for each day and hour

in the end
Jordan is waiting
