This beautiful silence cannot be ignored
as I stand here
I am alone
in this world that surrounds me
there is no one else
at last, I am at peace
I have reassurance of perfect stillness and harmony

From the ship
a welcome wind hails as I stare into the vastness
and the smell of rain fills my lungs and veins
pure blue sky and the serenity of deep dark waters beneath

frees my spirit...

and now

with a fixed clarity, I am well presented with greatness,
Before me

Look!
Majestic mountains of cloud thrive in the open space of sky
while lightning bolts of silver dance over the timeless, pulsating abyss

approaching us, is this frightening, magnificent squall


Are you afraid?

Soon we shall be deeply and completely drenched
in turmoil and tornadoes
hale and havoc
evasion is no longer an option

The darkened wonder echoes with a deep cry,
announcing its imminence

I am ready
eager and expectant to drink the fullness of this cup

the cup of death and destruction you ask?

No,
the cup of life
