The Strait of Juan De Fuca


I left home with a heavy heart

My zeal was gone, my murky mind thick

Like the heavy fog o’er the Strait of Juan De Fuca

 

As I prayed for direction the sun broke through

A shaft of light sliced the fog and lifted my mood

Signified hope on the Strait of Juan De Fuca

 

I split the zone in a twisting wind

It felt cold, surreal, nondescript

Like the morning fog o’er the Strait of Juan De Fuca

 

The vague ambiguity was sliced right through

Enlightenment revealed the horizon

Signaling hope on the Strait of Juan De Fuca

 

When meandering, directionless

Churning, drudging in a pit

Like a dense fog o’er the Strait of Juan De Fuca

 

Look to Heaven where help comes from

God’s light breaks through like light through fog

Spiritual hope on the Strait of Juan De Fuca
