hidden sun
clouds beckon
me to stop the storm
high bird flies
braving gusts
in my quest I go
sunbeams light
a dark path
I cannot stop now
bird flaps wings
raindrops fall
the ordeal has just begun
lightning whips
thunder's back
yet I do not yield
beyond the shadows
huddled and frightened
she who loves me waits
let nature threaten
with all might
I have faced its wraths before
sky will clear
God will prove
lovers don't accept defeat
the storm lulls
bird needs rest
but sings as I embrace her.
