Overcome.

I run along in this storm

As I have many times before

Most times confused, and seemingly torn

For this reminds me of the things of old

My past.

I've run here many times now

In this storm I once thought to be chaos

Yet I knew in my heart

There must be something more

Than wallowing in this fear and self pity

In this storm I can see nothing

No colour, no.

My eyes behold no such thing

Yet I can taste the rain

I can taste the truth now

Though it remains unseen

Though I cannot touch it

I can feel it, surrounding me

Even now as I write

Capturing my breath, with each breeze

A new colour surrounds me now, 

The colour that lay here during each storm

Buried in the dust beneath my feet

Where I stood for so long, longing to be free

Dreaming of a freedom so sweet

Yet since I could not see

I thought I could not taste

Therefore I did not taste of it's goodness

Though I could have, 

Yes all along it was beneath me

Longing to be stirred

Times in these storms I did feel this colour

I sometimes could feel it begin to stir

But each time in fear, I quenched

The very hope I now hold so dear

Come with the wind that surrounds me

A healing colour divine

Walk in this storm, Darling

Taste of its rain

Lift up your head to sing again

Walk in the wind that surrounds you

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil

For you are with me

Period.

You have overcome,

I am in You, therefore

I have overcome
