The Storm

And so the storm came

The rough started to shiver

As if the wind

Would bring me along

She called out my name

And the old oak trees quivered

Crying that I

Had forgotten my song

”You have to let the fire glow

To find the things you need to know

Deep within the fire’s glow

You’ll find what you’re looking for”

I knew every word

I knew and I didn’t

Gone through my mind

So many times

And I knew she was on her way

I knew that the time had come

I cried out for someone to hold me

As if someone could walk in my place

As if I could stop the unfolding

And escape what I had to embrace

But there she was

Standing right before me

The queen of the wind

The queen of all I tried to hide

She said

”Don’t you ever ignore me

Cause I’ll always be

On your side”

And I fell down on my knees and cried

And I fell down on my knees and cried

Then just like that

The evening went quiet

She was gone

I was left with the silence
