Hugo
A Poem About Peace
Your terrible winds bend mighty oaks in two.
You remove houses from their very foundations.
Your wrath will be discussed across the nation.
Yet in your center I find
A state of a different kind
I look up and in my sight
Is an ideal starlit night
Your wrathful winds have momentarily subsided
The calm I feel leaves me greatly divided
How can such peace exist
When the evidence of your chaos persists?
Then a picture enters my mind
Of Jesus smiling so kind
I see Him standing on Galilee
So calm amidst the tumultuous sea
Jesus was standing there beckoning me
To make him the center of my every need
So that in the middle of life devastations
I can have peace that exceeds my expectations
I thank Him every day
For sending Hugo my way
For when I think of that autumn landing
I think of His peace that surpasses all understanding
Philippians 4:7

Good poem! And good use of metaphor. I've never been through a hurricaine, but have often thought on your experience during Hugo. Now I will connect it with the Peace of Christ, when it comes to mind.
