The Stormy Night

Last night it was difficult to sleep

In my small hut in the woods

The thunder storm was frightening

Riding the west wind came

The princess of lightening

The brightness enough to light the underworld

Was blinding

 

She was surprised

God’s creation could be so wretched

I was awed

It could be so beautiful

 

She brought an army of happiness

To conquer my solitary world

At victor’s feet laid my heart

Willingly I surrendered

 

We played silly games

Sang melodious duets

How I wished

The night would never end

 

Our worlds could never meet

But desire knew no bound

I wanted to change

Pretended to be a poet

Tried to be compassionate

 

But I failed to overcome

What was destined

In a mortal’s life

Not everything could be attained

 

The night was long

When morning arrived

She was gone

If only I could dream on.
