Sandstorms
Through the sandstorms fury
Can the violence tell?
If water as depleted
From our secret well
Are you unaware
That night is long behind you,
That amorous as pain can be
It does not define you
Yes, I see your eyes
Tremble in the wake-
Of a violent storm
That will soon abate
Then peace will kiss your soul
And the water will come fast
The sandstorm rages now,
But in time this too shall pass
So we drift together
Through the violet storm
To take on bitter sorrow
And somehow transform
Anger into serenity
And pain again to peace
Though it's hard to see the light
When the storm won't cease
Do not tell the winds
Command them to their source
Scream into the air
Until your voice is hoarse
You'll see your voice betray you
For what is it but air?
Bound to the inconsistencies
Of a solar flare
You will learn what Silence
Itself, can only heal
Though the storm reminds you
Just how bad you feel
Stretch forth both your arms
And ride the violent wheels
Until you'll see how much
A storm will then reveal.
