It takes a storm

#*It takes a storm

To know the strength of the winds

No more gentle as the breeze

 

It takes a storm

To make the calm and silent waves swell

A lesson it must teach

 

It takes a storm to know

Past is done, do not dwell

Gentler waves now touch the shore

 

For the storm too knows

Finite it is, in its entirety

Lose it must, to the tree of will

 

It takes a storm to know your strength

It takes a will of the tender tendrils

To sway with the winds

And stay still in the storm*#
