Relentlessly
The wind blows, whips, and howls
The rain pours and pounds
The lightning flashes and crashes
The thunder booms
Most nights this storm is for me
Reminiscent
Of the storm inside
My mind, my body, my soul
The wind to warn
The rain to cleanse
The lightning to shine
And the thunder to frighten
I am oddly at peace with this storm
Tonight
This storm is meant for another
The wind to breathe life
The rain to wash impurity
The lightning to reveal
And the thunder to jolt
Again
For me the wind a soft kiss
The rain a cool shower
The lightning a guiding light
The thunder a low rumble
Yet
For you the the wind steals your breath
The rain stings your face
The lightning blinds your sight
The thunder rattles your cage
Suddenly
It is over
The wind is distant
The rain is memory
The lightning is distant
The thunder is fading
Relentlessly
It calls upon the next
Another soul rejuvenated
Another mind convicted
Another spirit revealed
Another body seized
Relentlessly
