Tormented by the torrent of wind
I stand out in the pouring rain
The pouring rain on my soul
And the booming sound overhead
A sound like the mountains howling
Howling from the brutal lightning
Crashing into their sides
Brutal
A word befitting the lightning as graceful
Befitts the rain
Clap after clap of thunderous roar renders me numb
Numb to myself
Numb to the world
Among all the chaos
And turmoil the storm brings with it
I close my eyes
Trying to forget the storm
And think about something wonderful
I find a place deep inside
A place I have never felt
I reach deep inside
And feel warmth from my heart
Spreading throughout my body
The cold rain steaming off of my body
As the heat becomes stronger
Making it's way up to my troubled mind
My mind
Once tense and strained
Now calmed
Calmed like the sea after a brutal storm
This place must be remembered
This place inside my heart
I open my eyes
To see a great and glorious sun
Shining over the mountains
Their gigantic snow-capped tops
Over looking a once troubled man
Now calmed
After a single moment
Inside his warm heart.
