Peonies in the Rain

My soul awakes in early dawn.
Angry storms bursting all around.
Whipping, blowing,
Shouting from within.
They scream and writhe,
Determined on their track.
They cut a path outside my window ...
Or are they in the hollows of my mind?
I emerge into full awareness.
Everywhere.
They are everywhere.
Inside and out.
Though the rage seems relentless,
No storm exists forever.
Be it in the clouds
Or deep within my soul;
There will come a point of stillness.
The heavens will find their quiet place.
My soul will know its rest.
As I step forth into the sun,
Assuredly I move with bated breath,
Knowing what is waiting there for me...
Yes, I will step into the Son ...
Where my heart is captured once again
 By Peonies ...
Peonies in the Rain.
"He restores my soul."
Psalm 23:3

    1. Ours have finally opened just as this week has progressed.
      Along with roses they are my favorite!
      I wish they would bloom year round.
      Maybe in Heaven ...
