fog and rain

some people avoid the beach at this time

i am the opposite

i love the beach when it is like this

i have spent many many a time 

walking along wet rocks to the roar

of wind swept waves
lawrencetown beach

it suits me

don't get me wrong

the beach is nice on a sunny day

but when it is wild, and dark, and foggy

i am drawn there 

i remember once standing on the shore

being so overwhelmed by the power of the ocean waves

that i lifted my arms in praise to God

i quietly began to sing

and then through the fog i saw a stranger walking

towards me

what did i do?

i smiled

and kept praising.

a raging sea makes me realize how small

i am 

the fog makes me realize that i can't see without faith

the wind rattles me to the core

and i leave walking taller

and stronger

and wetter!
