The Hand

The Eye is not safe

The destruction is still there

The pain

The death

I can not stay in the Eye

 

I step out

 

Swirling winds are all consuming

Throwing me around senselessly 

The noise drowns out any peace 

The debris crowds my vision until all I see is destruction

This hurricane spins me around endlessly 

 

In my mind…

The water surges and grows

Rising higher and higher

Swallowing me whole

Until I sink beneath the waves

 

Struggling 

Drowning

I reach out my hand 

My final breath bubbling in front of me

 

A warm hand grabs me 

I feel my head breaking the surface

 

I breathe 

 

The hand guides me through the wind

And the noise

And the water

 

It offers me a home

A safe place

A sanctuary 

 

The hurricane feels like a distant memory…

Then the eye tries to take me again 

 

But the Hand will not allow it

The Hand will never let go

The Hand will ALWAYS save me.
