In the Storm

By Shawn Quah

In this world so vast,
Caught within its strangling grip,
Over the horizon, storms that brew,
Terrible to behold, more than we knew.

It rages on, a wrath so deep,
Angry waves form, toss and throw,
Watery fingers that would not let go,
Nowhere to run, but a depth so cold.

Sinking down to the deepest end,
Helpless in everything that I do,
Eyes closed, in my soul, scared,
Yet right there, Hope had been prepared.

About Shawn Quah

Shawn is a laid back friendly person, who loves online gaming and the opportunity it brings in meeting new people across the world. He loves eating and though his favorite food is a well-kept secret, we have it on good authority that it’s either Hor Fun or Char Kway Teow. He enjoys writing poetry in his free time and hopes that the Lord will continue to inspire him each and every day. Despite the fleeting and uncertain nature of life, his fondest wish is to continue living it in service to the family he has come to love dearly—God’s family.
