Tempest in the key of C
My storm rages for you
I wrapped it in sheets of rain
I wrote aria and chorus for its voice
A libretto for sylphs
Accompanied by thunder.
My storm rages for you
It is centred in my heart
Held at bay by gum scented breeze
Chains of air, and
Links of wood.
My storm rages for you
Wrapped in rain
In patience it waits
For your gentle hands
To loosen the chain
…and dance in its wind.
