Water, everywhere
Dark, deep, strange
Mystery
Tragedy
I don’t know what to do
Disaster, everywhere
Shock, horror, terror
Panic
Static
I don’t know what to do
Mud, everywhere
Wet, cold, thick
Sticky
Heavy
I don’t know what to do
Fire, somewhere
Hot, high, distant
Many
Many
I don’t know what to do
Debris, everywhere
Sharp, soft, hard
Cold
Old
I don’t know what to do
Prayer for everywhere
Needed, wanted, asked
Craved,
Saved
This I can do
Hope for everywhere
Peace, warmth, safety
Protected
Guarded
This God will do.
In the palm of His hand,
Beneath the shadow seen
His strength reaches out
His hope reaches out
His love envelopes
The miles unknown
My prayers,
Your prayers
Their prayers
He hears them from every corner of the world
He is listening
And He is there,
Instantly
(c)Sara H.
