Tears and Storms
By
Eric Cheng-Jie Lin
When Midsummer Nights’ breeze drifts from door to door
When Winter’s chilly winds breathe life into dreams
These winds from seasons end comes as it seems
The storm brews and flows, the winds scream their lore
A lover’s passion becomes just and true
Searing anger washing over like fire
Fear, joy, emotions cry without tire
The storm streaks and dies, the lovers say adieu
Sight through ever’s mourning and lovers’ heart
The human soul can only understand thus
Nature and Humanity can be seen as thus
Drawn by storm and emotion in each part
Do we ever see how like tears and rain,
Storm and rage can also bring about pain?
