Tempest
In the sea
As the thunder cracks and fast gales blow
The waves howl as high as a tower
The sky turns black as a ghost
A thunderstorm so dreadful that
Sailors and crewmen beg for mercy.
The terrific thunderstorm warns no one, spares no one
But rattles every single living soul around.
Even though ages have passed since
The dreadful tale of that thunderstorm passes on.
On the port
As the palm leaves sway gently
A girl sits with pristine calm
With a slight smile on her lips and gleam in her eyes
With folded hands on her lap.
She contemplates the mysteries and complexities of life
Intense melancholic thoughts howl inside her, haunt her
Her mind turns stark black, a mess of interlinked memories.
Nobody knows the turmoil within her as she makes life-altering decisions.
Nobody knows the inner Tempest within her.
