Foolish Samaritan
I am an angel of the Lord,
He guides my every step.
One day I saw a storm,
Its anger and thunder and rage were magnificient.
I felt comapassion
And needed to ease its hurt.
The Lord warned me, "stay away."
I could not resist;
I knew that I could do something.
Thus I waited
Until God wasn't looking
And rushed in to render my services
But its anger and thunder and rage
Became infuriated.
It consumed me
And directed to destruct me.
It mattered not
What my intentions were
Only that I was there.
I rumbled and tumbled in its raging furry.
Lord, I'd gasp
Give me strength.
It rained so hard and so long
Before he finally reached in
And touched me.
Thank you Lord, I cried,
Things aren't meant to be this way
I know.
The storm is the world, its anger and thunder and rage are its thrills. I tried to change the world but got captured by its thrills. The peace I had desired turned to gloom instead.
