In the dark recesses of my mind
I know I must go out of here,
This refuge, if I hope to find,
Because there remains nothing near,
No voice that will whisper things kind
And nothing for me the endear.

So I will slowly slip away
As if a shadow some dark night
Journey places that have no day
So I might hide myself from sight
Find some backwater place to lay
And keep my ugliness from sight.

The storm comes from ocean churning,
To drench us with torrential rains,
The winds will come in quick turning,
Shouting to man strong nature claims,
A lesson that we’re slow learning,
That humanity is spurning.

We can not fight nature’s great shows
Can not stand against the strong blows
We’ll be taken where Nature goes.

I can not fight my own darkness
The hurricane churning recess,
My self that’s filled with emptiness.

Let me meet the hurricane face
And see if they will leave this place

To survive in the path to be worn
To greet the calm after the storm

Let hurricane cleanse this dark stain
