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
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
Written between June and August :)
