The River Raging
There is a river raging, it is within my soul,
and from where it started, I had no control
It seems it was unleashed from deep down below,
now running rampant, many wild emotions it
has enrolled, rushing over every stone and boulder
in it's way, over these feelings I have no sway
Oh maybe I could cover them, direct the flow,
but sooner or later, they would again show, let this
tide run, so wide and free, over many pains and
sorrows, it will wash them from me, it was a hidden
flood, deep within my earth, underground currents
have now been given birth
It is coming in like a flood, surging through canyons
deep, into every crack and crevice I can feel it seep, there
is residue of sorrow from childhood, it is lifting it away,
and the divorce of my parents which brought a sad day,
I can feel the currents roiling, as I hold on for dear life
And memories come flooding, times of sorrow and strife,
the time of such great loneliness, so many years ago, I see
a tinge of it still dwelling deep within my soul, Oh Father
let these waters roll and cleanse away the deep debris,
Thou Oh Lord know every inward part, which is within me
I quietly wait as this river still surges, slowing down
at times of upward climb, knowing all it touches will
become serene again, sublime, oh the depth of emotion,
and pain which rages through, but I know that there will
be new growth, when all this upheaval is through
