Once Overwhelmed

WOnceOverwhelmed117x175
What if?
What then?
Tormenting thoughts
of random fears,
torrential rains
of worry pummeled
my sanctity to a flooded swamp
of muddy misery.

No more
what ifs,
what thens,
cascading through my
consciousness,
uncontrolled.

I seek You
when the raindrops start,
before the skies turn    
bleakest black.
You steer me
through the fury into
the comforting warmth
of the horizon.
