There’s a thundering
I pretend not to hear
But it’s so loud
That I’m deaf to everything else
This looming tsunami
Filling my ears with the certainty
That I will be swept away
Father, come close
Look with me at my fears
Let me know the lies
Let me hear the promise
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you”
Louder than the roar
Of the tumultuous tide.
