i tried to tame the tempest
i tried to catch her fury
i got burned for my efforts
burned and mocked
i tried to bargain with the winds
deafened by her defiant howls
a maelstrom, a crescendo
the buzz of a thousand angry banshees
i tried to strike a deal with the rains
with the hail and the fog and the sleet
sodden temporary promises
they all left as quick as they came
i tried to steal the thunder
my hands were not enough
not enough to conceal her
not even for a moment
i tried to hold the lightning
my hands are scorched to this very day
something so pure and bright
may never be held
