[WID0028] Guest Post by Kemuel: Torrential Rain

What if the rain pouring down
Wasn’t meant to make me drown,
What if the lightning and thunder
Was meant for more than bringing me under,

What if, though flesh I only know
The spirit be a seed
And the darkness of life’s toils;
The fertile soil it needs

What if it all
Terrifying though it be
Is really meant
To benefit me

I finally see the thing I need
And it lies beyond the dark I fear
This rock beneath will lead me there
His growth and pruning keep me there
