Soul Storm

Many people struggle with their faith. This being my first post ever on Soul Songs. I won’t bore you with my journey of seeking and finding God. We have plenty of time for that. But right now I’d like to introduce the woman behind the soul that will be hopefully leading you in the right direction of faith that you seek.

My name is Joni, and I am a writer. A wannabe published writer, but a writer nonetheless. I drip my soul into poetry like a funnel of rain in a downspout. I touch souls with my words and it is a kind of mission of mine to find a nice place nestled in your mind, where I have you thinking, changing, and longing for an enriched soul.

Allow my first post be one of my beloved poems, and the title of my poetry book, if ever it gets published. Without further adieu, here is:

Soul Storm

Beyond the tempest storm I see
a rainbow waiting there for me
clouds they merge then pass me by
my eye always on the erupting sky.

The storm boils over without warning
lasting through the mumbled morning
I wait with hope for the sun to win
against this beast the angry kin.

He gnaws and gnashes, biting trees
he shreds the land then heads for seas
Finding joy in causing  pain
Unleashing torrential slashing rain

I think destruction is friend
he takes away the ability to mend.
But does he know you have more power
within your grasp through every hour?

The more he taunts and tries to break
the more you seek the rainbows wake.
You know its there; it’s in your view,
Holding hope and all that’s true.

The rays burst out of the hidden shell
Erasing the storms evil spell.
the arc of promise rears its head
the rainbow shows your faith’s been fed.
