The power in the wind stirs me,The storm is so huge.
With every drop of rain,
Comes a longing deep inside me.
My face upturned,
My heart in awe,
when it struck me.
A flash of lightning
hit the tree
But a greater flash
Inside
told me who I was.
The rush of the wind
The chaos above,
Revealed
Me
Completely.
I am chaos too.
Within I am a struggle
A war
A wind.
My hair is blown
My coat is wet
My face covered in
Small
Wet
Raindrops.
Yet I love the wind
With every part of my being.
The deepening darkness above
Connects with me like no other natural source.
I am a part of it.
The struggling wind
The powerful drive
The blackening sky
Is me.
I am struggling
I am driven
I am blackening
Inside.
Thus the storm calls to my heart,
Thus my face is twisted in despair
I want so much to be a wind.
My eyes are filled with tears as my heart aches.
So much
So much
so much
What will I do?
I ache.
The storm is gone soon
And I weep desperately to the ground.
Hoping I will pass as swiftly
For deep inside the
Storm
Rages.
An infinite connection echoes in
The wilds of my soul.
I thirst for rain
I cry for wind,
I clench my fists for blackness.
If only I
were
there
In the eye of the storm.

Warm breezes, warm breeze...
