Bearing a heavy load, on my chest
I asked the wind, to push me ahead
Wind said, to lie down for a bit and rest
But my heart feared, my mind scared
One step at a time, to the peak of the cliff
I saw the giant waves clashing upon the fleets
Standing, staring with all my muscles stiff
My heart throbbed, and paced the beats
The dark clouds gathered, sign of a storm
Thunder, lightning, rumble all giving me a call
The lord of death, in its disguised form
I lost all my senses, and I began to fall
So wrong, was I, to nail my own grave
I regained my consciousness, under an old tree
The conversation with the wind, did save
As it put me in a deep sleep, to break free
A dreadful dream it was, to finish my worth
But the living nature helped me gain
And brought back my senses forth
Healing my pain and,
washing away my load with rain...
