With glacier blue skies above, the heavy clouds far away

drift ever closer, pushing the brilliant day away.

Violent gusts of wind thrash the branches in waves;

taller trees sway, weak leaves are blown away.

The air is warm and damp, the wind cold and gray;

scattered birds hasten before they are carried away.

Every now and then, the world freezes in a weary way

as if to see if the time has come for the rain to fall away.

In the midst of it all, you keep me from going astray

hold me back, so I don't accidentally fly away.

While a raging tempest upon me heavily weighs

you stay with me, and let all my problems drift away.

Surrounded by the incomprehensible beauty a storm conveys, with you, the thunder to my lighting, I waste away.
