Tempest Bequests

provide us something pleasant
as the darkness only consumes,

leaving our bare bones hollow
and aching - no longer moving

we're forever seeking to become
stronger than yesterday's wimps

please shine your brightest light
on our otherwise shamefulness

awaken us from the thoroughly
saddening tempest bequests...

and even if this be our last ever
request - we yearn for freedom
