Peace Amidst The Storm

Waves of emotion crash all around
ceaselessly, without a care or second thought
driving me against the rocks
pulling me under and out with the tide
Strong arms suddenly take hold of me
holding me in an unrelenting grasp
with them surrounding me,
I know I am safe
Placed now upon the shore
I catch my breath and look out at the sea
that would once have been my grave
Here there is peace at last
away from the fear and anger of the waves.
