Before the tempest of death or so,
When I heard it coming,
I just paused and paid a look back
at the cries, late-night cries from home
calling from behind.
The sky was groaning,
The tender flowers—
they were about to doze off now
upon the heavy breast of the dry earth—
And I was here, to face the impending storm,
to battle with it
Upon this earth—away from all.
Away, away, away from all,
all those I have loved and yearned for—
I knew I'd never come back again,
and yet
there was very little you could do, dear,
Except for pulling me in your ever-desired affectionate embrace;
Where in each heartbeat and breath of yours
I could find the calmness—
like the storm has just passed away.

A/N: I was thinking of some light votes after the storm would pass ;)
