The darkness which surrounds me
Seeming ever so complete
The loud crash of thunder
Accompanies my every heartbeat.

A scared rider on the storm
The tears falling like rain
I humbly ask for guidance
Instead of demands to explain.

Through the cracks of lightning
A voice I did hear
"Have faith little sister,
The storm will disappear.

Embrace the lantern of life
Nurture the flame of hope
Believe in Grandfather"
These words I heard spoke.

Like a vision in a dream
The storm it did cease
A gentle calm engulfed me
With a feeling of endless peace.
