Soliloquy.


What fury hath this tempest wrought
That tore the earth and sky apart?
What wrath hath nature's power brought
That shook the very core of my heart?

I saw the trees uprooted lie
Like broken limbs upon the ground
I heard the roofs fly through the sky
Like thunderclaps of dreadful sound

I felt the floods engulf the fields
And drown the crops that fed us all
I watched the roads become like shields
That barred our way and made us stall

And yet, amid this chaos dire
I glimpsed a ray of hope sublime
A rainbow shining through the mire
A sign of grace in troubled time

O storm, thou art a cruel foe
But thou canst not destroy my soul
For I have faith that I shall know
A brighter day when thou art whole.
