Oh, it's been such a long storm.

Though others seem trapped in the eye,

The rain never pauses for me.

*

I push my back to the wind,

And I press on as the world rages madly on.

But it's been such a long storm.

*

"It's the eye you must fear," they say

While they seek rest upon their calm seas.

But the rain never pauses for me.

*

And I wonder at their fear,

Envying them as they bask in the sun of the eye.

While for me, it's been such a long storm.

*

I press my back to the wind,

And I hold out against the storm that rages on,

Knowing the rain will not pause for me.

*

"It's the eye you must fear," they say,

But I wait in expectation for the eye of the storm.

Yet, the rain never pauses for me,

And this storm has raged on for so long.
