Beware:
I am the calm.
I will show you the sunrise,
sing you serenades.
I will shoulder your crying,
carry your weight.
I will share my secrets,
tell you my truths.
I will win you with wordplay,
whisper you weak.
I will be the one you collapse into,
in terror and in joy.
And when I destroy you
as you look up to me,
smiling,
you will understand
why people
and storms
share names.
