The storm clouds gather, a symphony loud, As the wind howls fiercely, nature’s own roar; The sea crashes waves, a wild serenade, In this tumultuous life, I crave for no more.

For in the chaos, I find a deep peace, An understanding of life in its unrefined state; When the storm finally passes, I stand in the light, Grateful for wonders that nature creates.
